Let's break it down:
The top referring Web site to NewsOK is ESPN.com. CBS Sportsline and CNN SI are also in the top five.
Yesterday was the highest trafficked day in NewsOK history. Today will top that before 5 p.m.
Users from 152 countries have visited NewsOK this week, including one each from Fiji and Paraguay. Allow me to personally say thank you to both of you. We love you.
The top viewed video on NewsOK was Jenni Carlson responding for the first time on camera to Mike Gundy's press conference. We thank Jenni and Mike Sherman for their time.
But the real thanks goes to you the user. Thank you for visiting NewsOK and sharing your comments and dialogue. Keep it clean, but keep it coming.
So we asked Carlson and Sherman to go on camera at NewsOK.tv before other media.
Check it out. And we posted it on YouTube, which is something we don't usually - but should - do.
Worked on a script and production of The Oklahoman’s High School Huddle over night. We went into production today. Should post it tomorrow.
The Oklahoman’s sports editor Mike Sherman and deputy sports editor Mike Koehler wanted a high school sports show produced. Ryan Aber would go on camera with me to discuss the prep football scene each week.
And the 2007 season kicks off Thursday. Not much time.
So I wrote a quick show. 5 minute total running time. Backtimed it: Edlamfootball.com is our new site devoted to Edmond North, Edmond Santa Fe and Edmond North football - so there’s 45-60 seconds. We could use a Dave and Angi commercial - another 15 seconds. 2-3 minutes with Ryan talking about the season, with a True or False segment. We would use music under the entire video. Then we met with Bryan Thomas and Billy Davis for opening animation, full screen graphics and lower thired. David Jones created a nice studio setting. Tanner Herriott worked on lighting. Jacquelyn Farris ran teleprompter. Kyle Roberts oversaw the elements and will edit.
We’ll see the finished product tomorrow. We’ll improve production and the look in the coming weeks. But for a quick turnaround (one morning) it went really smoothly and simply.
