Spectrum News rediscovers the American spirit in 'Across America at 250'

Spectrum News’ Across America at 250 frames a cross-country journey to rediscover the American spirit as the nation marks its 250th birthday. The 90-minute special, hosted by Tim Boyum, spans more than 6,000 miles across 24 states, with two Florida stops filmed this week and broadcast locally on Spectrum Bay News 9 (channel 9 in Tampa Bay) and Spectrum News 13 (channel 13 in Central Florida), and via the Spectrum News App. The program favors conversations with everyday Americans over iconic landmarks, weaving community stories from coast to coast. Highlights include a Grand Canyon mule ride, a Wisconsin cheese curd factory, and an Orlando airboat ride illustrating Florida’s tourism economy.
