Miami, Here We Come!
WDSU has some big plans for Super Bowl coverage, beginning Sunday in Miami.
Sports anchors Fletcher Mackel and Keli Fulton and news anchors Melanie Hebert, Camille Whitworth and I will deliver live coverage from South Florida all next week on every WDSU newscast. We’re also the only station with special, live all-Saints programming every night leading up to the Super Bowl.
I’m leaving for Miami Tuesday by car with one of the WDSU news photographers. Since we’ll be on the road for a solid 14 hours or so, I’m planning a multimedia explosion to help pass the time. I’ll be blogging, tweeting, streaming live video via uStream and updating our progress on WDSU.com.
If you have any ideas we could put to use along the way, let me know.

Behind the Scenes: Ida Coverage
Camille Whitworth and Me
We were in storm mode yesterday, spending all day and night covering Tropical Storm Ida. From what I could tell (I was on the set most of the time), we provided a lot more coverage than any other TV station in New Orleans. I’ve covered plenty of tropical storms and hurricanes, but this was my first time working storm coverage with the gang at WDSU. Obviously, they had been through this drill before. It was like a well-oiled machine. The reporters in the field did great work and I felt like we provided excellent news and weather information from the studio. Ida wasn’t a major weather event, but it was a great test run for local parishes; a mild, late-season storm to test safety improvements and protocols put into place since Hurricanes Katrina and Gustav.
Kudos to the WDSU News team on a great job.
Here are a few behind the scenes pics from yesterday’s coverage:

Heading Home
Welcome to my new blog. Check back from time to time for updates about our return to the Big Easy.
After two years here in Orlando, I am moving from WESH to WDSU. My start date in New Orleans is August 24th. I will anchor a brand new 4 p.m. newscast with Randi Rousseau that will debut September 14th and the 5 p.m. newscast with Camille Whitworth. Here are links to the news releases announcing my hiring at WDSU and my departure from WESH.
I haven’t lived in New Orleans since leaving for college in 1993, so my wife, son and I are obviously excited to get back. We have a second child due in November. Right now we’re in the process of finding a place to live and selling our house in Orlando. The latter is not a pleasant experience.
