(Nasdaq: SBGI), is proud to report that Investigative Reporter Jon Chrisos and the station\u2019s I-Team have been named recipients of the prestigious Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) Award. Chrisos and the WGME I-Team won this award for their impressive work identifying flaws in the Veterans Crisis Line, which were ultimately addressed by the United States Congress.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn 2020, Jon Chrisos and the I-Team discovered that the Veterans Crisis Line, a suicide prevention hotline dedicated exclusively to aiding American veterans in need, lacked the geolocation technology to properly identify the precise location of their callers. Through their investigative efforts, the I-Team was able to uncover an incident where a Veterans Crisis Line dispatcher, in response to a suicidal veteran\u2019s urgent request for help, sent emergency responders to the wrong veteran, in a different state, due to the lack of proper geolocation technology.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAfter Chrisos and team reported on the issue, Senators Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Angus King (I-Maine) proposed an amendment to the VA appropriations bill. This new language aimed to directly address the problem, beyond the borders of the state of Maine, offering federal funds and support to enhance these systems.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cJon and the I-Team\u2019s reporting spotlighted an issue that may have otherwise gone unnoticed,\u201d said Susan Walther, VP\/General Manager of WGME. \u201cThey were able to spark a national conversation and as a result, progress is now being made to improve a vital service for our honored veterans.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWGME is one of just three local news broadcast stations to be recognized by the IRE Awards this year. This is the first time that a Maine-based television station earned this award.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThis win is a significant achievement not only for the WGME team, but for veterans everywhere,\u201d said Scott Livingston, Senior Vice President of News at Sinclair Broadcast Group. \u201cThis confirms the relevancy of local news and its ability to highlight critical issues impacting our local communities.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFollowing the I-Team\u2019s investigation, Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) worked to include language in the 2020 Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) appropriations bill that encourages the agency to use funds to address this issue \u2013 which, Collins noted, was a direct result of the I-Team\u2019s investigation.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About WGME:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nWGME is a CBS affiliate that is proud to deliver local news, weather, and other quality programming every day to communities all across Southern and Central Maine.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nSinclair is a diversified media company and leading provider of local sports and news.
