Our Tampa crews work the stories that come out of Tampa City Hall and the Hillsborough County courthouse, the Sam M.

Assignments in Tampa reach Downtown Tampa, Ybor City, Westshore, Hyde Park, and New Tampa and the rest of the Tampa Bay area, and a crew can be rolling to a scene anywhere in the metro within the hour.
