Today we launched a NewsChannel 8 "Webcast" on kgw.com. This was a specially-produced newscast for kgw.com. It will be anchored each afternoon by Tracy Barry. The Webcast will run about 5 minutes or less each day. It will contain the day's top stories and other news that you may or may not see on KGW-TV. The Webcast is all part of our effort to give you news when you want it - On Demand - rather than just at appointed hours like 5 p.m. or 11 p.m.

At NewsChannel 8 we are committed to providing you the best news and information each day - no matter how you want it delivered. We don't just see ourselves as "television journalists." We see ourselves as journalists who provide news and information many different ways - on KGW, on Portland's WB at 10 p.m., on kgw.com and on your wireless devices, on The Oregonian's weather page each day, on Weather Plus, on CNN Headline News each half hour and on Northwest Cable News. The Webcast is just the latest way for us to provide you news stories with sound and pictures.

Our plan is to have the Webcast posted to kgw.com by 3:45 p.m. each day. Please give it a try tomorrow.
