Considering I've been producing content for our website since last august, I guess it's time I started blogging.
    I am now producing our Realtime Traffic show.  It's a live hour-and-a-half show produced exclusively for our website.  Yup, an hour-and-a-half of traffic.   It's amazing the resources the station is putting into the show:
a full control room crew.  2 anchors.  skyfox.  a chp officer.  cal-trans traffic maps. live-drive cameras.  they're going all out to do this right.
    the live drive cameras are cool-live video from a cell phone giving a commuter's-eye look at traffic.  and since these phones are being used by our photographers and reporters on the way to their stories., we're not contributing to the traffic mess.  ( I mention that because we've gotten email accusing us of contributing to traffic). 
    check out the show-it's live on the myfoxla website from 4:45 to 6:15 pm every weekday.  let me know what you think and feel free to offer suggestions, criticism, whatever.  the show is a work in progress and if we feel you have some good ideas you bet we'll start incorporating them into the show.
