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.
January 2016 was a strong book for Channel 3 News with major gains in the morning and late night. Channel 3 News continued to be the number one choice at 11 pm. Starting today, we enter the February sweeps period that runs through the end of the month.
Check out Channel 3 at the 2016 Great Big Home & Garden Show at the IX Center starting Friday, February 5th through Sunday, February 14th. More than 100,000 people are expected at the event and you'll find your favorite WKYC personalities and staffers at the show during the entire run. This year, we are at booth number 939 where you can register to win a $500 cash prize or 1 of 5 Fitbits. Your blogger will be at the IX Center on Sunday, February 14th from 2 to 4 p.m. Stop on by!
