Alcoa Inc. has filed a public record's request seeking the footage and records used in a North Carolina public television report about the company's operations on the Yadkin River.
Alcoa Energy President Rick Bowen said in a statement Friday that the he wants to know who influenced the content of the UNC-TV story because he believes the report was biased.
The public television station prepared a story on the company's operations as Alcoa seeks to renew a 1958 federal license to operate the four dams along the river despite closing its nearby plant.
Lawmakers critical of Alcoa first subpoenaed UNC-TV to get the station's work quickly. They used it during a hearing earlier this week and grilled an Alcoa representative about their work.
