WPLG Supercharges Community Engagement Ahead of Independent Relaunch

WPLG, South Florida’s trusted news source, is ushering in a bold new chapter in digital storytelling, and Viafoura is proud to be part of it.
As the station prepares to become an independent, news-first broadcaster in August 2025, it’s also investing in a richer, more connected experience for its digital audience. With the full Viafoura suite now live across Local10.com, including Conversations, Community Chat, Live Blog, Engagement Starter, and robust moderation and analytics, WPLG is doubling down on its commitment to community, safety, and smart growth.

From safe, scalable moderation to user-driven features that keep audiences active and engaged, WPLG is setting the bar for what local media can achieve online. This launch also marks a strategic move to convert anonymous engagement into meaningful registrations, with comments now gated by sign-in to encourage a known, loyal user base
We can’t wait to see what’s ahead for WPLG as they continue to elevate the voice of South Florida, now with their digital community right beside them.
