Investigate TV are the syndicated investigative reports from Gray TV (owners of a lot of stations nationwide). Lee Zurich is involved in that too.

Thanks eagle- I definitely don’t have the skills to take that on, and will look at calling a professional for their expertise. Is Garcia reputable for this? I saw where some people had issues with them. ...
