Good morning,
We’re awaiting an 11 a.m. speech by Barack Obama on the economy. WECT will carry that live and then have a recap on the noon news.
Reporter Gavin Johnson is headed to Whiteville for several stories including follow ups to reports we did yesterday on the closing of Goody’s department store and a jail escapee who is now back in custody.
Reporter Max Winitz is shooting what should be a nifty little story about a Wilmington man who makes sure all those tiny hotel shampoos and soaps don’t go to waste.
Later today, anchor Jon Evans will be covering an event featuring local war veteran Joey Bozik who is going to receive a helper dog from the Carolina Canines organization. Look for Jon’s reports live on the news at 5 and 6.
Sports anchor Bob Bonner will recap last night’s disappointing UNCW loss…and look forward to tonight’s national championship football game on our Fox station. That’s if you don’t think Utah is number one. Having covered the Utah football program many years ago, I’m happy to see them doing so well and undefeated. Now if we can just get the Colorado State Rams going…then we’ll have glory days for Mountain West Conference football.
See you tonight…
