Watch! Bid! Buy! The TV 30 Auction Rewind

Special | 26m 44s

For 30 years WGTE, or Channel 30 as it was known then, annually dedicated more than a week of its schedule to fundraising with a live, televised auction. Staff members and an enthusiastic corps of volunteers planned, organized and auctioned off to the highest bidder a variety of products and services donated by local and national businesses. This program looks back to the first ever WGTE "Buy-In".
