WMBB-TV: Panhandle Strong Together

This is home.

We believe that the local community matters; our employees live here, grew up here, and call this area home - and in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael, we’ve adopted a new motto: Panhandle Strong

Simply put, it means that we will lead the way in all local endeavors - from supporting local non-profits, to providing community services, to telling you about important events happening in your community, localism drives every decision we make. The stories that mean the most, as we all rebuild, together.

This storm affected our staff as much as it affected the entire Panhandle. We’re all rebuilding, pulling the same rope in the same direction in this tug of war to restore our community.
