News: WKYC phone bank keeps experts busy


Jay Seaton, president of the Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Greater Cleveland says tonight's phone bank at Channel 3, in which he and 4 other experts from his service are answering debt - related calls, could be the busiest he has ever participated in.

For two hours, Channel 3 viewers are being invited to call with their debt or credit related questions, so that the free service can give them advice and help get them started on the way to solving their problems.

As soon as one call was completed the phones instantly started ringing again. In fact, during our live shot at 6 p.m., the phones rang continuously as Jay and Dick Russ did a live interview on the air.

An ominous sign of the times...

Thank you for having the phone bank. It was very helpful. Just a side note, the crawl repeating the same message on your HD channel blocked out the bottom portion of your lower thirds and the time and temperature bug. It became distracting. If possible, you should have used the bar at the bottom of the screen that shows the weather (in the morning) and sports scores in the evening. That way no other information is blocked out.

Thanks for the comment.. I'll look into the crawl issue and see if we can get it corrected soon.
