From the Mailbag: Bus Stop Kids

From: Beverly in Medina

Q: I have a child who would like to be a Bus Stop Weather kid, how do I go out getting him on TV?

A: WKYC's official "Bus Stop Department" offered up the following details:

"There are two ways in which kids are selected for this popular segment of our newscasts. The first way is through a phone-in contest we run periodically during Channel 3 News Today, which airs weekday mornings from 5-7 a.m.

The other way we get kids is through charity fundraisers. We occasionally give Bus Stop appearances to various groups to use at silent auctions to help raise money for their organization. If you have any questions feel free to call the station at (216) 344-3333 and ask to speak to someone in our Promotion Department."
