Plot Synopsis

BREAKING GREENVILLE is a half-hour reality series that takes viewers behind the cameras of two real-life TV news stations in one of the smallest TV markets in America -- Greenville, MS -- spotlighting their rivalry and the individual newscasters determined to take their jobs seriously, even when some of the news they cover is less than serious. Whether it's a cat stuck in a tree or a low-pressure storm system, this group of competing news frenemies learns fast that making something out of nothing is challenging and rewarding. At WABG, the news personalities are: Lucy Biggers, the morning anchor, who was born and raised in Fairfield, CT, and is the daughter of Sissy Biggers, a staple on Lifetime and Food Network in the 1990s; Pam Chatman, the news director, who was commemorated with her own dedicated portion of Highway 61 as well as a statewide holiday by the Mississippi state legislature in 2008; David Lush, the news producer, who also has three weekly on-air segments; and Lakiya Scott, the evening anchor, who was born in France, raised in Atlanta, and attended graduate school in Michigan. These news personalities work at their rival station, WXVT: Eric Zernich, a weekend meteorologist/reporter, who graduated with honors in atmospheric science from The Ohio State University; Callie Carroll, the morning news anchor, who is fresh out of college and away from her home of Missouri for the first time; Renae Skinner, a co-anchor, who has made it her journalistic mission to expose crime, social injustices, and institutional corruption; Steve Schill, an anchor/meteorologist, whose first weather gig was in Eureka, CA, where he produced and hosted a live one-hour Sunday evening talk show; Vernon Turner, the chief meteorologist, who joined WXVT in July of 2012 as the weekend weather person; and Woodrow 'Woody' Wilkins, a native of Greenville, who is a Navy veteran and the station's news director.
