Here's some Saturday fun for you. Something I could watch all day long. TV News Bloopers! I was in TV for many years and I certainly have had my share of bloopers, and tons in radio even. But these are the best, because they involve kids!

We've heard for awhile that "The Walking Dead" was getting a companion series, and the setting has been released!

Something truly bizarre occurred during a live news report in Knoxville, Tennessee the other day. While reporting on a stabbing at a housing complex and with cameras rolling, the suspect suddenly showed up and confessed to stabbing her mother three times. While the reporter called 911, the woman explained that she was under her mother's satanic spells.

Congratulations to our news partner, WZZM TV13 for winning multiple Emmy Awards over the weekend. Needless to say, they are very proud, and reported to us that the Michigan chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences awarded ten Emmy Awards to WZZM 13 journalists Saturday night in Detroit, the most honors for any television station in West Michigan.

I was so lucky today on the morning show to be visited by three lovely ladies, the ladies of broadcasting. WZZM13 has been celebrating their 50th anniversary of broadcasting here in Grand Rapids.   They have brought back many former anchors and reporters to do newscasts, and it's been great fun for viewers...

Nobody knows if Katie Couric will leave CBS when her contract is up as Evening News Anchor, but there sure is a lot of speculation.
