Orlando’s WESH in HD Tomorrow

Published by admin on 10/31/2007 in Media Headlines.

Orlando’s favorite NBC station WESH is turning the HD on tomorrow, the first day of sweeps. They’ll also debut a sexy new look to show off.
And couple weeks ago WINK-TV on the other side of Florida, market size 63, went HD as well.

And our stations have decided to do us a favor and not go HD so we won’t be seeing any gashing wounds or rolling poop from broken sewers in HD.

Don Noe’s Secret

Published by admin on 10/30/2007 in Local Media.

WPLG is running a promo about a secret Don Noe has. Allegedly it’s so big that it’s a 10 on the hurricane scale. And he’ll reveal it Thursday, November 1st at 11pm.

The day sweeps start.

My bet is he’s announcing his retirement. Or he has a new dog. Or he discovered a way to kill hurricanes.

What do you think is Don Noe’s secret?

WPEC Photog Hit By Car

Published by admin on 10/30/2007 in Local Media.


Casey Lang a photog at WPEC, the CBS affiliate up in Palm Beach, was hit by a car while working on a story Saturday night. He was crossing a dimly lit street near a gate community where a small plane crash had happened when a Buick hit him. Casey was taken to Delray Medical Center in Delray, Beach with fractures to the skull and face among other injuries.

According to a story on WPEC’s website from Oct 29 he’s listed in critical but stable condition. His family flew down from Montana on Monday and is by his side.

Whether it’s prayers or thoughts or both, I’m sure the family and friends can use them all right now.

We wish Casey a speedy recovery.
