News: We've reached another milestone

I'd like to take a a very brief moment as your blog master returns from a relaxing vacation to thank everyone for their support of the Director's Cut Blog since we launched in January 2007.



While I was away, we hit the very cool mark of 200,000 page views from readers all across the country - including many national and on-line tv trade publications who look to our blog for information happening on the local TV media scene. This may not seem a lot, but it is for a local blog that started from nothing and has grown into its own identity.

As you have heard me say before, we have been quoted, misquoted, loved and hated all over the course of the last 21 months. And, I have to say - I have loved every minute of it. When someone talks about you, you know you are doing something right.

I'd also like to thank the management of WKYC who gives me the leeway and flexibility to bring you interesting and timely articles about the station you won't find anywhere else. They understand the positive contributions of what connecting with our viewers is all about. The blog is a very important part of that motto we all strive for everyday at Channel 3: "Report the Facts, Respect the Truth."

Also our sister work, the "Fair Weather Fans" weather blog continues to do remarkably well, approaching nearly 100,000 page views since it launched last August.

Again, I thank you for being and continuing to be a fan of our blogs. We wouldn't have made it this far without your loyalty. As we continue to grow, we hope you'll tell a colleague about our work.
