Almost a year ago today, I kicked off The Lost Ogle's Coronavirus pandemic coverage with a reflective and distractionary look back at our site's brah-stool early days, and how they contrasted with the current state of the Internet, and the Coronavirus-fueled uncertainty that lay ahead.
Specifically, I reminisced about the famed Amy McRee pink bikini photo. You know, the one of the former News 9 anchor hanging with her hot friends at Lake Arcadia while some dufus in the background tries to stomp on a fish. The pic is so entrenched in local lore that it was recently recreated with a moment twist by our current crop of frolicking TV news starlets.

It took a year, but I guess we finally know the answer – she's been prepping for a return to Oklahoma City television!
After a 10+ year(!) hiatus, KOKH Fox 25 announced earlier this month that Amy McRee will begin filing a weekly lifestyle segment on Living Oklahoma – the pay-to-play morning show that once featured the intoxicating talents of Meg Alexander.
Titled "Amy's Take," I guess each Monday morning she'll come on the show and share a nutritious food recipe or exercise tip or whatever. Here's a clip of yesterday's segment that she filmed live in her kitchen. Although an audio glitch made it difficult to watch, it was nice to see an OKC news legend back on the screen:
