Technical Difficulties...Problem Solved!

We apologize for the problems with the live webchat thispast weekend. However, all of the bugs have been worked out and we promise that the webchat will return to the Weekend Morning Show this weekend. Please join us on Saturday and Sunday beginning at 9am!

Starr Sightings: Inside Studio A - "A Somber Sunday"

Following the unfortunate fatal shooting of an officer over night, we decided to send Jeff out to cover a press conference to find out more details. Kim held down the fort in Studio A. With Dawn directing the last hour of the show, director Matt was able to post video to the web and stream the press conference live with the help of Julie at the desk. Producer Caitlin did a nice job of pulling together the changes for the show at the last minute. Great job to the weekend morning show team for pulling together to get the coverage on the air and web so our viewers were able to find out the latest information.

During the show, we had our live webchat up and running, as well as a live stream of the press conference. Jeff and Kim did a great job with covering the story in a respectful and professional way, as WKYC always does. The mood in Studio A was somber and serious today. Some of you may have been watching the live video from Studio A and could see all was calm here. Anytime we have a fallen officer, the newsroom is aware of the impact on the community and the atmosphere here shows this. We stay busy and bring you the latest coverage, but we all keeping the situation in perspective.

Although we didn't have too much time to chat here at WKYC with all of the breaking coverage, we appreciate all of you who logged on to share your thoughts and feelings on this tragedy, especially the family and friends of this fallen hero.

Stay Tuned,

Jess Starr

Live Web Chats Will Continue

With the success of the first two weeks of live web chats on the Weekend Morning Show blog, we have decided that we will keep them up and running during the show for the foreseeable future.

Viewers seem to enjoy the contact that the live web chats offer and have also seemed to enjoy the live streaming camera in the studio so that you can always see what is going on.

In the coming weeks, we will be adding some audio to the live streaming camera so that Jeff and Kim can communicate with the audience at home. There will be more movement on the live streaming camera so that you can see even more of what is going on in studio, and as always there will be lots of behind the scenes video that you can only see here on the blog.

Be sure to bookmark the "Weekend Morning Show" blog here on WKYC.com, check back frequently, and tell your friends what they've been missing out on.
