WCSC OPENS NEW EXHIBIT IN THE CHILDREN’S MUSEUM OF THE LOWCOUNTRY

Charleston, SC- WCSC in Charleston has partnered with the Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry to launch an interactive broadcast themed educational exhibit through 2029. The Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry hosted a public ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, July 20, at the main location in the heart of downtown Charleston.

“We are extremely excited to partner with the Children’s Museum as a part of WCSC’s ongoing commitment to serving the Lowcountry” says WCSC Vice President & General Manager Brian Daugherty.

“Through play and imagination, we hope to foster a new generation of journalists and community leaders”.

Children’s Museum President and CEO Karen Coltrane is currently featured on a weekly family-focused segment on Palmetto Life, WCSC’s lifestyle show that airs weekdays at 9am.

“This partnership gives us a great way to connect young children with art and technology in a way that is exciting and fun for them, and then allows us to reach our adult visitors when we share our knowledge of early childhood education through the content we develop for WCSC” said Coltrane. “It is a perfect partnership for us!”

Features of the new exhibit include an interactive weather wall, anchor desk, and camera housed inside a downscaled facade of WCSC’s building in West Ashley. Established in 1995 and opened in 2003 by community volunteers, the Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to create innovative learning experiences in our museum and throughout our community that equip and inspire all children to become creative problem solvers. Tickets can be purchased at explorecml.org.

WCSC is owned by Gray Television, Inc (NYSC: GTN), a multimedia Company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, that is the nation’s largest owner of top-rated local television stations and digital assets.
