From the tipbox...

A few weeks ago I highlighted the KC market's weather blogs. I received an email this week informing me of a Springfield station with one.

KSPR has a weather blog. You can find it by clicking here ! It is updated semi-frquently.

"Fair and Balanced" Debate?

Umm... I don't think so. Fox News just had a Republican Presidential debate. Funny how Guiliani, Romney, and Thompson all got tons of air time. What about the other candidates, especially Huckabee and McCain? I just don't understand how voters are supposed to make a decision when the media has already "crowned" the "top tier". Tancredo who? Duncan what?

I shouldn't just place blame FOX... all the networks do it to some extent. Tonight's debate, however, was the most unbalanced debate I have seen so far. I find it highly unfair considering Huckabee and McCain are both polling stronger in recent weeks.

Ok...ok... off my soapbox. Ciao! ;-)

MSNBC is heading to 30 Rock

MSNBC will begin airing from 30 Rock in NYC ending its decade long run at a separate facility in New Jersey. MSNBC will now just be feet away from the NBC Nightly News Desk. This will likely create the synergy MSNBC has been lacking for years.

Bloggin' Away

Ozarks Fox and KOLR-10 have created a new sort of blog on their website, OzarksFirst.

Anchors David Oliver, Kate Stacy, and Angie Weidinger, reporter Carlos Correa, NewsDirector Polly Van Doren-Orr, and photographer John Lemons have set up their blogs and are posting away (some more than others). This is an interesting interactive set-up. Check them out here.

And They're Off...

Fox Business channel has officially launched and now the war of words begins. Fox Business won't officially release ratings for several months while they work to get established, so what is there to do besides speculate?

Many newspapers have been doing write-ups on the launch. The New York Times has one the best reads of the week, I believe. Check it out here.

Meanwhile, if you are wanting to check the new channel's website itself head on over to www.foxbusiness.com .

Sorry for the long commercial break...

Where's TIVO when you need it, huh?? Due to personal health issues, I have been unable to update the blog. I am improving and will begin updating the blog this weekend. Thanks for your patience and your emails of concern.
