Thanks, Kansas City, for making us no. 1 in Wikipedia entries!
Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday we were raining hellfire and severe umbrage on Katie Horner for interrupting our favorite CBS shows to bring us Doppler radar from Baldwin City. But those memories are fleeting, so thank goodness someone had the presence of mind to record, for posterity, the events of early March. From Wikipedia's entry on Horner's station KCTV-5:
In February 2007, viewers angry over what they deemed as "excessive" severe weather coverage on KCTV (and other stations in the city) created a Web site called FireKatie.com. The site called for the termination of KCTV meteorologist Katie Horner, but thus far, has proven unsuccessful.
And who do we have to thank for immortalizing FireKatie.com on Wikipedia? Why, none other than longtime TV Barn reader, blogger, Wikipedia contributor and ... employee at KCTV's archrival, KMBC-9, Troy Diggs. I like Troy and I'd like to think, if he were in my shoes, he'd admit this was kinda funny.
Credit goes to Derrick at FireKatie for spotting that. Derrick has added a special section for KSHB's high-energy show interrupter, Gary Lezak. Gary's response to FireKatie was posted here.
