What a difference a year makes. A year ago we were gearing up for the Presidential race and in our state a rematch of Gregoire versus Rossi. We were becoming familiar with the Senator from Illinois named Barack Obama and while we were concerned about the economy, I don’t think anyone expected the meltdown we’re now experiencing.
A year ago we called the show, The New KCTS 9 Connects, reflecting our revamped look and approach. We went from an hour to 30 minutes and placed an emphasis on strong lead stories. We wanted to bring our viewers important Northwest stories on topics that are often overlooked or underreported. We made an extra effort to bring you in-depth stories with angles and information you haven’t heard before. So this week’s year in review looks back on stories we reported and, most importantly, updates you about what has happened since we first broadcast those stories.
You’ve probably noticed that we dropped the ‘new’ from our title. We’re no longer new, but we are committed to bringing you strong storytelling and timely interviews. As we enter a new year, you can expect to see a series of stories on investor scams, a renewed focus on the environment with the return of Green Watch, and more fascinating profiles of People You Should Know. And while the election of 2008 is behind us, we know there will be more elections in 2009 for Seattle Mayor, King County Executive and King County Elections Chief. We’ll be following those stories.
And we’ll be hoping for better times ahead for all of us.
