Press Coverage


Residents of the Mahoning and Shenango valleys who were alive in 1977 look back on Sept. 19 as a date that lives on in infamy, the day the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. announced it would all but shutter its operations in the Mahoning Valley.

People who live on Canfield Road in Youngstown say a group home for the developmentally disabled is causing problems in the neighborhood. Ian Beniston is the director of the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation.

Mahoning Avenue will come alive with live music, an outdoor cafe, art galleries and a farmers market with the third Mahoning Avenue Fall Fest, celebrating the neighborhood’s many hidden treasures. 

Throughout the year, WKBN teams up with local organizations to make a difference in our community.

The OH WOW! The Roger & Gloria Jones Children’s Center for Science & Technology’s seventh annual Silly Science Sunday will take over downtown from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
