This is an historic day at NewsChannel 9, and indeed... in Chattanooga television.. On December 29, WTVC Television begins the transition to local high-definition programming, and that is going to require a new set.That means,we say goodbye to the news desk and this news background that has been our home for almost two decades.� �  To TV news people, the set is our office -- it's where we come to work every day.�  And this has been a good one.It's the set where Bob Johnson and Mary Ellen Locher worked for years, bringing you the news.�  It's the set where Kim Chapman and I keep that tradition going.�  From this desk, we've announced presidents...We've celebrated our community's success..And we've informed you of scandals and tragedies.�  We are very grateful to you that we can say, at this moment, this has been the most watched set in this television news market for its entire life.But... times change and high definition requires that we, move into a new office.�
