Walgreens Buys Rite-Aid in Merger
Local Rite Aids may be changing their names soon after Walgreens announced today they are buying Rite Aid in a $17.2 billion deal.
If the deal gets approval from the antitrust review, the second and third largest pharmacy companies will combine and surpass the current number one, CVS.
Rite Aid stores will keep their names for right now, but they eventually will change. The consolidation of the two stores is just another change that the health care industry is changing due to Obama Care.
If approved that would mean Walgreens will have more than 13,000 stores in the U.S alone. In recent years, Walgreens has been buying up other chains, such as Duane Reade in 2010 and the European pharmacy chain Boots Alliance, last year. Walgreens currently is in 11 different countries.

Hard Work is Paying Off in the Studio
Boxes galore is what you will see when you walk into the Al Roker Television Studio these days. Our installers are hard at work in the control room and the rack room installing new our new high definition equipment.
“What’s in these boxes right here is almost everything we need to complete the upgrade” – Justin Dobrow ’17, General Manager
The first thing that was installed in the studio were some cables.
Additional cables were installed in different parts of the studio
Take a look at the list of wires installers are using to figure out where each go in the studio (crazy confusing huh?).
List of wires the installers are using to connect everything together
After the cables are installed new equipment like the Ross Carbonite switcher, Xpression Graphics system, new Ikegami HD cameras will be installed and setup. New mounts for the monitors and wireless technology for the IFB and headsets will be installed as well.
Ross Carbonite switcher- “This lets us do green screens (called chroma keying), split screens, picture in picture, and lets us switch between video sources like cameras or videos like packages or show intros” – Nick Costanzo, V.P. of EngineeringMoving onto our new and improved rack room, better known as the “brains” of the new studio. In the rack room we have; Ross Xpression, Grass Valley playback system and a Tightrope media server that lets us schedule shows to play during the day or play reruns.
The rack room is coming together slowly
Stay tuned next week and keep up with our progress right here until the end of October!
