It's time for another "behind the scenes" look at what's happening inside the WKYC Digital Broadcast Center.
August has been a busy month here at WKYC as we are half way through our Browns Preseason coverage. This Saturday at 6 p.m., we'll air the Browns "Pregame Huddle" live from Indianapolis, immediately followed by kickoff of the game at 7 p.m. between the Browns and Colts. Our preseason coverage is once again being directed this year by Emmy Award winning Channel 3 Director Allen Wohl and sports producer Jeff Yakawiak.WKYC welcomed Rona Proudfoot to the Channel 3 News social media team recently. Rona has worked for the Plain Dealer and Elyria Chronicle Telegram in similar roles. Rona will help us grow our WKYC Facebook and Twitter followers, as well as keep you updated about the the latest news every weekday evening on our social media platforms.
The station has said goodbye to two familiar, on air faces in the past week. WKYC's Jennifer Lindgren signed off last Friday as she takes a new reporter job at the CBS station in Dallas, KTVT. Jennifer is originally from Texas and will be getting married soon.
Also, reporter Pamela Osborne said goodbye to Channel 3 this morning. Pam has been part of our morning and evening teams for the past few years Her immediate plans are unknown, but we wish her well as she leaves Northeast Ohio.
WKYC will launch a new daytime lineup coming September 9th as "Rachel Ray" will move to 11 a.m. following the fourth hour of the "Today Show" on Channel 3. "Live on Lakeside" will now become a half hour show, airing weekdays from noon to 12:30 p.m. with Hollie Strano and Michael Cardamone continuing as hosts. "The Doctors" which previously aired at 3 p.m. will take Rachel Ray's old timeslot at 2 p.m. while "Bethenny" will debut in the 3 p.m. timeslot. The rest of our daytime lineup remains the same.
