WBFO Brief April 19, 2021

Today on the podcast, we check in with Tim Clark, the head of the Buffalo-Niagara Film Commission with a roundup of the local projects filming around WNY. And correspondent Dan Karpenchuk looks at a new round of public restrictions in Ontario, as they deal with the third wave of COVID infections that has intensive care units “bursting to capacity.” Also, Amherst’s new police chief comes to the post after steering the department through police reform planning and extra officer training, and Newfane is dumping stone on the shore of Lake Ontario to control possible flooding – but all those dump trucks are taking their toll on the town’s roads.
