WKYC News & Notes: 8/5/16

By Frank Macek

It's time for another "behind the scenes" look at what's happening inside the WKYC Digital Broadcast Center celebrating our 15th year at 13th and Lakeside.

It's been one heck of summer for Cleveland with the Cavs winning the NBA Finals and the championship parade in downtown Cleveland, the highly successful Republican National Convention and now the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio.

Channel 3 News has been in the heart of it all, and all of these events have shown how "Seeing the Possible" makes a difference to our viewers.

For the next 17 days, you'll see coverage of the 2016 Summer Olympics from Rio de Janeiro from NBC and our own Sara Shookman and Will Ujek who are in Rio to bring home a local perspective to the games. Look for their reports on all editions of Channel 3 News.

We'd like to recognize several employees who have recently left the station:
  • Gary Seawall: Engineering and remote and satellite operations
  • Marlene Olbrysh: Receptionist
Also, congratulations to the following people who have joined the Channel 3 team:
  • Kierra Cotton: Audience Engagement Specialist
  • Brenna Mona: Audience Engagement Specialist
  • Cara Wilson: Account Executive
  • Bridget Kelley: Digital Sales Assistant
  • Joseph Garman: Multi-Media Marketing Producer
  • Carly Flynn Morgan: Multi-Skilled Journalist
