Here’s a screen grab of what we’ve been seeing for the last 3 hours, almost non-stop – transformer blowing nearby

New face on Local10

Author admin on 9/23/2004 in Site News and Comments.


This is why Gina Canceliere was dumped. A new addition to the Local10 morning news is Megan Glaros coming from Sinclair’s pathetic excuse for news called News Central.
She’ll be weatherguessing in the morning and noon newscasts and also co-host “Sports Jam Live”

Her News Central bio

Megan Glaros joined News Central in January of 2003. She is originally from Dyer, Indiana, a suburb of Chicago. Megan attended Indiana University where she graduated with a double major in journalism and atmospheric sciences. During college she interned with Tom Skilling at WGN-TV in Chicago and at WRTV in Indianapolis. Megan then went on to work as a morning co-host and weather
anchor at WTAP in Parkersburg, West Virginia.

Before beginning her career Megan was a very busy person. She performed and studied with dance companies in Chicago, Dallas and Los Angeles. She was also chosen as one of thirty Indianapolis Colts Cheerleaders. Her first on-camera experience began at the age of fourteen when she started her modeling career with a national agency in Chicago. Megan loved dancing and modeling but it just wasn’t enough! She is very happy and excited to be working in the field of broadcast meteorology.

Megan still enjoys taking and teaching dance classes. She is also a certified Pilates instructor. Her favorite thing to do is spend time with her big Greek family.

Fast track is on

Author admin on 9/20/2004 in Local Media.

As previously mentioned 7News is debuting new traffic technology, and replacing 7Traffic with Fast Track Traffic instead. It’s pretty nifty from technological point of view being able to show everythign in real time down to the street level including speed. The graphics look pretty spiffy too, not sure who designed them but they’ve done a good job on them

Here’s how it looks on the air: Video XviD 1:15m long 6.9MB large
