Holiday Cheer

2:01 PM Tue, Dec 18, 2007 |

There are many important news stories today. But that is not why I hope you'll watch tonight.
It's because of the Toy Drive.

So many agencies and groups need so much help this time of year that I know it can all become a bit overwhelming. And still you give...and give...and give.

So tonight I just want you to see what it has all added up to. I literally get chills when I walk into our studio and see the bags of toys stac...

Last Saturday night, the KGW weekend team was "elfed" by our beloved producer, Scott Collins. To see our sweet moves, click here.

It takes a couple of minutes to load, but it's worth the wait.

Joe Michaels was off Saturday. That's why Keely Chalmers is our "weather elf." By the way, congrats to Keely; she recen...



We're Splitting Up

5:20 PM Tue, Dec 11, 2007 |

Goodbyes are hard for me. Not this time.

He was reliable, safe and always available. But it had become painfully clear lately that we weren't meant to stay together.

We started getting sideways glances from people we passed. Portlanders really didn't approve our relationship. Besides, he was costing way too much money.

So we parted ways. Oh, we might still get together for special occasions, maybe skiing with the whole ...



Gabriel's Grandma

3:01 PM Mon, Dec 10, 2007 |

We'll begin our 5 o'clock broadcast tonight -- with an update on our flooding. There are a number of new developments - including FEMA's response, and the latest on the railroad mess that has cut off a main grain supply line for dairy farmers.

Also, you will hear from Gabriel's grandmother tonight. She is flying into town - from Mexico. Gabriel is the 2 year old boy at the center of a custody dispute. His foster parents on the co...



HD and Me

I celebrate another birthday today, December 6th.

And even though my eyesight is getting worse, my world is suddenly about to become clearer, imagine that!

Yours is, too.
Together, we are entering the world of HDTV.
KGW announced this week that we will become the first commercial Portland television station to go to true High Definition.
The launch date is just over a month away.

Blue Skies

2:59 PM Tue, Dec 04, 2007 |

It is nice to see some blue mixed in with the clouds today. You can imagine what a relief it must be to the folks in the flooded out areas around Oregon and Washington. Power is still out on much of the North Coast, I-5 is still closed near Chehalis and getting in and out of Vernonia is challenging to say the least.

Tonight at five we will show you what it looks like the day after in those areas. You might be curious how we manage to g...
