‘Good Morning America’ Coming To Waukesha
April 28, 2009
'Good Morning America'
A Waukesha family is one of five finalists for the “GMA At Your House” special. The entire crew will broadcast a show live from one family’s home.
They have not chosen who that family will be, but the crew is planning a block party to show their appreciation to Mike and Kelly Schmitt for being so accommodating during the process, and they’re inviting all the neighbors to come out.
“It’s a barbecue. There will be food there, and basically we’ve just invited all the neighbors in this area around Buchner Park to come out and enjoy some free food and some entertainment and just hang out,” Good Morning America producer Morgan Zalkin said.
The party is Tuesday from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Buchner Park on Waukesha’s east side.
Stay tuned to WISN 12 to find out if the Schmitts will be chosen.
A New Year
January 4, 2009
2009 shall be interesting.
No big election to watch, no major sports dramas … it will be a year to watch the dollar.
It’s the economy, that’s the focus of attention. And it is where WISN.com will focus its energy.
Look forward to news you can use to help your situtation and your pocketbook.
Here’s a recap of UPFRONT with Mike Gousha, taking a look at 2009:
What We Do And Why We Do It
December 3, 2008
“Freedom of the Press”
In America, we have some freedoms. We don’t take them lightly and we shouldn’t. We have a right to free speech, a right to exchange thoughts and ideas.
Many in mass media are quick to tout these rights. What is bothersome in a political polarizing climate in which we exist, is that some journalists have lost sight of the baggage that comes with it.
There’s a need for responsibility with the power of broadcasting a message. Trust is not just a word to use in promotions. Credibility is earned and maintained. That comes with proving over time that the story is approporiate. It is how we conduct ourselves, no matter the situtation, that is important in presenting information to the community.
The message is accurate, immediate and is delivered on multiple platforms. That is what we do.
Milwaukee, it is our pleasure to serve in delivering information that connects with you and the community.
Texting And Driving: A Deadly Mix
November 24, 2008
Drivers get distracted. Accidents, fender benders, hitting a patch of ice and ending up in a ditch – all of these happen to drivers that are paying attention.
The problem is when there are other factors that cause a driver to become distracted. Advances in technology have added to the list of causes of inattentive driving.
Young drivers are learning the rules of the road every time they sit behind the wheel. But if they are trying to send text messages on a cell phone or Blackberry or other PDA, they are becoming a hazard on the roadway.
Channel 12 put teens to the test and put them on a course while texting. See Joyce Garbaciak’s report Tuesday night on WISN News at 10 p.m.
Students, Parents Feel Mislead
November 23, 2008
Colleen Henry investigated our school system in Wisconsin for higher education.
Not all places are the same, even within the system. A class offered at one school may or may not be good enough to be recognized for credit at another school.
Unfortunately, students are being mislead, paying for classes they are told will transfer to a University of Wisconsin system school.
In these tough economic times, and with the importance of education … these issues between institutions are costing families, students and taxpayers money.
Check out Colleen Henry’s report tonight at 10 p.m. on Channel 12.
