Since I plugged the newspaper yesterday, I thought today I’d give a shout out to NewsChannel 2, WKTV Utica. My problem is, I like to actually go to the place or do the thing I blog about right before I blog about it, and I’ve been either at work or asleep for most of the news broadcasts in the last 24 hours. I did catch the last 15 minutes of News at Sunrise, but that was with my first cup of coffee. Not my best time.
But I do love local news, and I enjoy WKTV whenever I catch it. I was upset recently when WKTV had a dispute with Time Warner Cable, and we were threatened with losing it. Turned out Herkimer County was not part of the dispute, and they resolved it anyways, so phew (wiping imaginary sweat off forehead). I’ve mentioned that I know Dave Dellacese from Ilion Little Theatre. I’ve also met Bill Worden and his wife. They are quite charming. Ask them about meeting over a piece of pie and cup of coffee at the Woolworth lunch counter.
Thanks to the internet I do not have to totally miss my WKTV fix due to scheduling conflicts. I can go to http://www.wktv.com, which is what I did this morning before writing this post. I could review all the stories, get weather, community events and more. I had to click on a headline about a drunken teen going to the police station to complain about a parking ticket. You can’t make this stuff up. They have some useful ads too. Did you know Dave Koz (one of our favorite jazz artists) is coming to Turning Stone? I was especially pleased to see the community events. I can use that to plan ahead. Maybe I can have fewer lame blog posts like this one.
You can also friend WKTV on Facebook. Steven has been their friend for a while and gets breaking news before I do. I finally friended them too so I won’t miss out.
I think WKTV is a definite asset to the Mohawk Valley. If you haven’t already, check them out on the television or the internet.
