COLUMBUS, Ohio ( WCMH ) — Members of the Ohio Army National Guard stopped by NBC4 Friday to recognize our station’s support of one of their missions.
NBC4’s General Manager Larry Cottrill accepted the plaque on behalf of the station from Brigadier General Matthew Woodruff, Assistant Adjutant General for Army with the Ohio National Guard. The award celebrated NBC4’s support of the National Guard’s Non-Commercial Sustaining Announcement Public Education Partnership (NCSA-PEP) program.
Woodruff said this partnership helps them reach a wider audience and share public service messages educating and encouraging Ohioans to take action. The campaign is a partnership with the Ohio Association of Broadcasters.

“I think the greatest benefit too is when you look at local TV and radio, you have that direct influence and impact on our local communities and it makes a huge difference. I think we have a shared goal in taking care of our communities,” Woodruff said
