WGN Morning News Blog (old)

Promos are some of the most effective tools we use to attract viewers in this business. Most of the promos for this show run during WGN's prime-time programming (which helps explain the high ratings we're currently enjoying), but we're always looking for other ways to promote it. So, we came up with an idea that's inexpensive and doesn't require a whole lot of work, and the bosses signed off on it immediately.

A blog-exclusive promo!

Now everyday when you log on to our blog, you will find a poorly produced, grainy home movie of Pat Tomasulo and Paul Konrad giving you a preview of the next day's show. Enjoy our first promo, and remember to check back tomorrow, as well as the day after, and the day after that, and the day after that . . .

Muhsin Muhammad stopped by the show today. I've included the airable portion of the interview below. Naturally, it is devoid of any copyright-protected NFL video.

This was the second time Moose had been on. His first appearance was last season, and we playfully referred to a quirky Q & A segment I did with him as "Moose Droppings." That was cute, but the accompanying graphic which showed actual moose droppings was not.

He was a very good sport about it, though I believe he was also a little disturbed. His first question for me when he arrived today was: "So what does Pat have up his sleeve today?" That's one way to make sure people remember you -- using their nickname in a crude, borderline offensive animation.

Anyway, I did have a little something up my sleeve, and Moose was the consummate pro.

What could be better than a video of the WGN Morning News looking at the WGN Morning News Blog? Only a post of the video of the WGN Morning News looking at the video of the WGN Morning News looking at the WGN Morning News Blog (to come soon, hopefully).
