MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) – Boston-based Channel 4 is setting up a television news bureau in New Hampshire. The station recently signed a five-year-lease for office space in a city office tower and plans to base a full-time reporter and videographer in the state. The reporter, Karen Anderson, worked for Manchester-based Channel 9, ABC-affiliate WMUR-TV, for several years before going to WBZ two years ago.

WBZ’s President Ed Piette said almost one in five of the station’s viewers now live in New Hampshire and commute to jobs in the Boston area.

Piette said he wanted to serve those viewers by offering them more news from their home state.

WBZ-TV is a CBS affiliate.
