The FOX25 tradition puts the morning team in towns and cities across Massachusetts for a live broadcast.

Each broadcast showcases the unique charm, pride and appeal of a local community and tells the stories of its people and places. FOX25 Morning News has visited more than 214 cities and towns during the long-running Zip Trips.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to take FOX25 Morning News out of the studio and connect with the communities we serve and the neighbors who watch our newscasts,” said Tom Raponi, WFXT Vice President and General Manager.

FOX25 Morning News anchors Gene Lavanchy, Sara Underwood, Daniel Miller, Julie Grauert, Meteorologist Shiri Spear and FOX25 Around Town Host Michele Lazcano will host the broadcasts.

Each live broadcast will give residents “bragging rights” and a chance to show us what makes their hometown a great place to live.  Interviews with newsmakers, special guests and local heroes will be featured. The popular “Taste of the Town” segment will also return this year along with other favorite segments. Zip Trips will be bigger and better than ever this summer with the addition of a family play area, a kids’ fun run, and more crowd participation.

“Summer is on at Zip Trips,” said FOX25 Morning News Anchor Gene Lavanchy. “The enthusiasm and energy the crowds bring make each Zip Trip the place to be on Fridays. We can’t wait to get back out there and show off the local communities and meet our loyal viewers, which is really the high point for me,” he added.

Zip Trip attendees will also have the chance to register to win a new Mazda  CX-9 given away during the Zip Trip season finale. Other prizes, games, and free product sampling (while supplies last) will be part of the fun provided by our Zip Trip partners including:

Bernie and Phyl’s Furniture, New England Mazda Dealers, Canobie Lake Park, DCU: Digital Federal Credit Union, Lamacchia Realty, Dunkin’ Donuts, Mass State Lottery, New England Dairy Promotion Board, Planet Fitness, Polar Beverages, Teddie Peanut Butter, Steamship Authority, Tufts Floating Hospital, Kings Bowling & Entertainment and Angel Flight.
