What happens

WIOU is an American drama television series, which aired on CBS from October 24, 1990, until March 20, 1991. The show is set in the news department of a fictional television station whose actual callsign is WNDY, but which is nicknamed WIOU by its staff because of the station's perennial financial struggles. According to television researchers Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh, 14 episodes were produced but only 13 aired. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
