Since the dawn of time, man has pondered the question, “Is KWTV or The Daily Oklahoman more responsible for the travesty that is NewsOK.com?” We finally have a verdict, and the anwer, not surprisingly, is the Oklahoman.
Channel 9 has split with NewsOK.com and launched their own web site, News9.com, and it proves to be a far more user-friendly experience than the clunky, antiquated NewsOK.com.
Most exciting is the brand spankin’ new News 9 Team page, where you can learn all new exciting facts about the journalists over at KWTV. For instance, did you know that Charles Bassett credits Oprah for inspiring him to get into journalism? Were you aware that Amanda Taylor collects miniature shoes? Click on over and find out what those crazy kids at Channel 9 are up to.
Still, News9.com isn’t without it’s hiccups. I went to watch their featured video, “news9.com offers user-friendly site,” and was greeted with this message:
Alert: You are currently using an incompatible browser or an outdated version of Windows Media Player to access the video player on this site. Please read the troubleshooting tips below for more information.
Oops.
Sure makes http://www.thesportsanimal.com seem not so bad now, huh?
Plus you’ve got me and Audra on ours!
Good move, News9.
Has anyone noticed that NewsOK.com is using the tagline “Oklahoma’s Website.” Really? Maybe we should be “Oklahoma’s other website.”
1: Perhaps, but only because I get a kick out of watching Craig the Movie Guy fail to interview Denzel Washington.
3: Amazingly, “Oklahoma’s Website” is even worse than the old Channel 5 site: “Channel Oklahoma”
Is it just me, or is the chick in the Gary England t-shirt ad kind of hot?
If by kind of hot you mean very hot then I agree.
t-shirt hot chick’s facial expression is a turn-off. maybe a smile would be better……
On a serious note, we have thrown around the idea of having a hot girl model our shirts. But we think that costs money. Anybody know any hot girls who would volunteer?
You could probably just dress up your blow up doll.
Tuti will do it!
Blythe from beespot?
And I like the expression on hot t-shirt chick’s face. I imagine that our female readers make that sarcastic expression regularly. Also, I should add that any woman who gets our sense of humor is a goddess.
Still the same bunch of shallow blow-dried TelePrompTer muppets pretending to cover news in order to sell commercial time.
She has that expression of like “you call that a wang?”
Because of Abbey Rae’s prompting (and only because of that would I ever venture to something designed by those a**hats), I checked out the sports animal page. Have to admit, I have to give props to a cute OSU fan stepping up for her team in the middle of Norman. However, she did kiss the ou band nerd. The rest of the site…not so much.
Okie Chris…you silly..that’s blow WHAT?
Thanks, Robert…they were SOO mean to me, too!
