**WLTX 19 App Provides Streaming Access for South Carolina State University Homecoming**
**ORANGEBURG, S.C. -** South Carolina State University (SCSU) is buzzing with excitement as it hosts its annual homecoming weekend. The event, a cherished tradition known as “Coming Home,” brings alumni, students, and local businesses together for a weekend of celebration and economic prosperity. Streaming is available on the WLTX 19 app.
The influx of visitors significantly boosts the Orangeburg economy. Hotels are fully booked, restaurants are packed, and local vendors are experiencing a surge in sales.
“We’re enjoying the economic growth of everything that’s been happening,” said Dante Champagne, a local vendor. “It allows entrepreneurship to help the community, give back locally to everybody, and helps the students so they can thrive.”
Vendors report long lines and high demand for their products. Nigel George, a quick-serve food vendor, noted, “It’s bringing, as you can see, like a huge audience. People want to try different types of wings, so it’s having a big impact on us. We’re having fun with it.”
Local leaders acknowledge homecoming as one of the most significant economic drivers for the city each year.
Beyond the economic benefits, homecoming is also a time for students to celebrate the university’s legacy and their own connection to it. “Man, it feels really good just to have everybody come back home and just to come together, have fun, just think about old times, and be around the family,” said Bryce McIntosh, a current SC State student, highlighting the sense of community and tradition that defines the event.
