Happy First Anniversary to the Director's Cut Blog

Today marks the one year anniversary since the launch of "The Director's Cut Blog" here on WKYC.COM.

It's been quite a year as we close in on our first 100,000 page views thanks to big stories like the SuccessTech Academy Shootings, a flash flood at the station, a visit by NBC Nightly News anchorman Brian Williams and tons of stories about what goes on behind the scenes here at WKYC - including exclusive in-studio photos.

We were quoted & we were criticized in great on-line media like "Ohio Media Watch," "NewsBlues," "Cleveland.com," "TV Newsday," "Shop Talk" & others.

We brought you great "Where Are They Now?" features on former WKYC employees Terry Burhans, Lisa Colagrossi, Connie Dieken, Art Edwards, Doreen Gentzler, Amy Murphy (Hasten), Eileen Korey, Marshall McPeek, Joe Mosbrook, Dawn Stensland and Donna Terrell

Our popular "Get to Know Team 3" offered you inside information on several of our staff members including Joe Brown, Dave Chudowsky, AJ Colby, Lydia Esparra, Betsy Kling, Maureen Kyle, Eric Mansfield, Mike O'Mara, Carole Sullivan and Chris Tye.

We were the first to bring you breaking news on the hiring of News Director Rita Andolsen, a brand new morning show, the hiring of Tom Meyers, Bruce Kalinowsky, Abby Ham, Bruce Drennan and other news releases from WKYC and NBC.

Our classic Channel 3 promos have been viewed by more than 25,000 people.

And, we started a live "Director's Cut Blog Chat" every Wednesday to answer questions about the WKYC Digital Broadcast Center and the transition of television to all digital broadcasting.

So THANK YOU for our first successful year.

The best is yet to come!
