There's something more than pupusas, Mojarra Frita and baleadas attracting Latinos who travel U.S. 60 near Busch Gardens and the sprawling Yorktown Naval Weapons Station to the north of Newport News, Va.

If one were to ask about the history of digital multicast TV channels, they'd likely turn to Gary Cocola.

When core advertising remains a challenge and there aren't a lot of digital or political dollars to count on, what does one do? For SBS, the answer was cutting expenses and a key non-essential asset sale. The result? Third quarter income more than doubled, despite a dip in year-over-year net revenue.
