Big Red Box

CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) - We created the Big Red Box so that you can find links mentioned in the news in one place.

If you’re watching Live 5 News and you hear one of our anchors mention more information being in the “Big Red Box,” that’s this page, a special section in our website where we will post important links you wouldn’t necessarily have time to write down during the live broadcast.

Be sure to check back from time to time and consider bookmarking this page in your browser because we periodically add new links we think you will find useful to this list!
