Shout out to @wxblakeharms from @WOODTV. He took time on a busy day yesterday to talk with area superintendents about what today’s storm would bring and when — helping us make well-informed decisions for the safety of our community. Thank you for your leadership, Blake! #wmiwx
Having to give the forecast while the Lions are driving down the field is cruel. I did my best... until the end 😂
All eyes are on this @Lions game, even @wxblakeharms' when he's trying to deliver the weathercast.
Close collaboration with local news partners - including @nbc stations and affiliates @nbc6, @12News, @11AliveNews, @WOODTV, @KRNV, @ErieNewsNow, & @nbc15_madison - will offer audiences a constant on-the-ground reporting presence in these communities over the next year.
@WOODTV Weather babies need to be a normal thing from this point on.

@WMUcooleylaw Professor Mark Dotson explained to @WOODTV that several factors play into a judge’s decision. One crucial claim if the court doesn’t stop the termination, Hambley will “suffer what is referred to as irreparable injury." hubs.ly/Q01KP3WP0
Our head of litigation, Karen Tjapkes, talks with @WOODTV: “If we can remove…barriers for folks that have done their sentences… we can improve their chances of getting good jobs & good housing.” bit.ly/43qbhyB #WorkingWednesday #CleanSlate #expungement

This is why Ken Kolker is one of the best in the business.
Unbelievable moments on @WOODTV as Jeff Titus was freed after 21 years in prison. Ken Kolker reported in 2017 that Titus' alibis were not included at his trial. The jury also wasn't told about an alternate suspect. Today a judge freed him. "I appreciate you," Titus told Ken.
