News Desk Nuggets


As we wrap up 2010, a few more things to put into the books before we kick 2011 into high gear.




The wkyc holiday party rocked! I personally had not been to one in a number of years due to my Mother's health as well as my work schedule.


A big thank you to all of our managers who made such a wonderful night come to fruition at Johnny's Downtown. The atmosphere, the friendships rekindled, the beautiful music with Mike Petrone tickling the ivory all night long topped off with a delicious dinner and decadent desserts!



Usually come the 3rd and 4th week of December, vacations kick into full swing and there are more people off than actually inside the building. Though the news must go on, and I'm sure the producers are pulling their hair out craving more news, sometimes it's a nice reprieve to be able to dress down all week, and when there is a lull, actually get to that 'extra pile of work' that feels ignored for much of the year.


Unfortunately, there are more homemade treats on the newsroom table than usual as the diet definitely flies out the window!




And last, but certainly not least, starting January 3, 2011, Channel 3 News Today will begin at 4:30 a.m. That extra half hour will hopefully prepare our viewers even better for their day ahead with the local weather, traffic, and news of the day (locally as well as nationally). Our goal is to definitely keep the customer 'connected' and informed.


You can spend an extra half hour with all your favorite people including: Mark Nolan, Hollie Strano, Maureen Kyle, Darrielle Snipes, WTAM's Pat Butler, and well as Matt Granite.
