The school dedicated the Greene-Waters HD News Center on Friday. It is named for longtime CBC executives John Greene and the late Ben Waters.
Greene is a 1966 graduate of UNC who worked at WBTV in Charlotte before joining CBC. He retired in 1990, taught in the UNC School of Journalism and returned to WRAL-TV to help the station launch HDTV in the mid-90s.
Waters retired from CBC in 2003 after 26 years. He continued to work with the company off and on until 2007.
The center offers students a news room, control room and studio featuring state-of-the-art technology.
