<title>VIDEO: WSVN&#8217;s Kevin Ozebek Has a Run-In with the Most Awkward Reporter in the World</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><iframe width="570" height="428" frameborder="0" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/E_w5aYLieL8"></iframe></p>
<p>When <a href="http://www.wsvn.com/" target="_blank">WSVN</a> reporter <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Kevin-Ozebek-profile.html">Kevin Ozebek</a></strong> went to cover the Miami Heat championship parade, he definitely didn&#8217;t expect to become part of a viral video from <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/the-most-awkward-man-in-the-world-goes-to-the-miam" target="_blank">the most awkward man in the world</a>.</p>
<p>YouTube auteur <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/kyle" target="_blank">Kyle</a> has developed a large following for his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL88911E7F3A72F6A1&amp;feature=plcp" target="_blank">excruciatingly awkward reporting</a>, and Ozebek found himself competing for an interview with Kyle&#8217;s shotgun mic at the parade.  It didn&#8217;t go too well (run-in begins around 1:04 mark).</p>

<title>Former KVOA, KMIZ Reporter Savannah Guthrie Named &#8216;Today&#8217; Co-Host</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-11600" title="Savannah" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/files/2011/06/Savannah.bmp" alt="" />NBC made it official today: <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Savannah-Guthrie-profile.html">Savannah Guthrie</a></strong> has been named co-host of the &#8220;Today&#8221; show, one day after <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ann-Curry-profile.html">Ann Curry</a></strong> <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ann-curry-says-emotional-goodbye-to-today-this-is-not-as-i-expected-to-ever-leave-this-couch_b135276" target="_blank">ended</a> her year-long tenure as <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Matt-Lauer-profile.html">Matt Lauer</a></strong>&#8216;s sidekick.</p>
<p>Guthrie, a native of Tucson, spent the early part of her career moving up the local market ladder.  She worked as a reporter at <a href="http://www.abc17news.com/" target="_blank">KMIZ</a> in Columbia, MO and later at <a href="http://www.kvoa.com/" target="_blank">KVOA</a> in Tucson, before attending law school.</p>
<p>&#8220;As soon as Savannah joined NBC News she was a standout,&#8221; &#8220;Today&#8221; executive producer <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Jim-Bell-profile.html">Jim Bell</a></strong> said.  &#8220;She has a one-of-a-kind combination of sharp wit and approachability, and our viewers value her journalistic skills and legal background just as much as her humor and charm.&#8221;  <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/savannah-guthrie-named-co-anchor-of-nbcs-today_b135773" target="_blank">Read more at TVNewser</a></p>

<title>WWL Adds Investigative Reporter David Hammer, Says Goodbye to Longtime Reporter Jill Hezeau</title>

<p>Hammer comes to WWL from the <em>New Orleans Times-Picayune</em>, where he has been a reporter since 2006. He will join the station as an investigative reporter later this year.</p>
<p>&#8220;David&#8217;s record of breaking big stories and producing award-winning work is no secret to anyone to pays attention to the news in New Orleans,&#8221; news director <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Bill-Siegel-profile.html">Bill Siegel</a></strong> said in a statement. &#8220;He will bring groundbreaking long-form journalism to our website, while providing informative and innovative reports on our newscasts.&#8221;  <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/wwl-adds-investigative-reporter-david-hammer-says-goodbye-to-longtime-reporter-jill-hezeau_b53411#more-53411" class="more-link">continued&#8230;</a></p>

<title>KCBS Erroneously Reports &#8216;Big Lebowski&#8217; Sequel</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-53371" title="TheDude_bar" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/files/2012/06/TheDude_bar.png" alt="" width="280" height="197" />Los Angeles CBS O&amp;O <a href="http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/" target="_blank">KCBS</a> posted some exciting news on its website Thursday for fans of White Russians and the Coen brothers: a sequel to the 1998 cult hit &#8220;The Big Lebowski&#8221; was set to begin filming in October.</p>
<p>KCBS excitedly reported the return of &#8220;The Dude,&#8221; sourcing the story to the Examiner, only to eventually find out that the report was based on a hoax (and not a very complex one at that).</p>
<p>KCBS based its article on <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/the-big-lebowski-2-the-works" target="_blank">an Examiner post</a> written by a guy whose title is Phoenix Cannabis Culture Examiner, and who runs a blog called WeedGeist.  His story, in turn, <a href="http://laist.com/2012/06/28/cbs_report_on_sequel_to_the_big_leb.php" target="_blank">appears</a> to have been taken from <a href="http://superofficialnews.com/announced-the-big-lebowski-2-the-dude-goes-to-washington/#comment-686" target="_blank">a post</a> on the website Super Official News with the byline &#8220;The Ass Press.&#8221; <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/kcbs-erroneously-reports-big-lebowski-sequel_b53352#more-53352" class="more-link">continued&#8230;</a></p>

<p>A graduate of the University of Alaska Anchorage, Walker got his start at Anchorage NBC-affiliate KTUU before moving on to <a href="http://www.ktva.com/" target="_blank">KTVA</a>, the market&#8217;s CBS-affiliate.  Walker returned to KTUU in 2010 and, since then, he has been anchoring the station&#8217;s top-rated morning newscast.</p>

<p>&#8220;I keep thinking I&#8217;m crazy to move on,&#8221; Klapper said. &#8220;Why am I leaving such a good thing? But I feel like this is the time to take a risk, and hopefully someday it will pay off.&#8221; Video of her goodbye inside&#8230;  <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/kira-klapper-says-goodbye-to-khsl-knvn_b53312#more-53312" class="more-link">continued&#8230;</a></p>

<title>KNBC Keeps Ann Curry News a Secret During Morning Show</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-53267" title="NBC_KNBC_CurryFarewell" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/files/2012/06/NBC_KNBC_CurryFarewell.jpg" alt="" width="570" height="281" /></p>
<p>Los Angeles NBC O&amp;O <a href="http://www.nbclosangeles.com/" target="_blank">KNBC</a> kept the news of <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ann-Curry-profile.html">Ann Curry</a></strong>&#8216;s <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ann-curry-says-emotional-goodbye-to-today-this-is-not-as-i-expected-to-ever-leave-this-couch_b135276" target="_blank">departure</a> from the &#8220;Today&#8221; show a secret during its morning newscast Thursday.</p>
<p>Unlike its NBC sister stations on the West Coast, <a href="http://www.nbcbayarea.com/" target="_blank">KNTV</a> and <a href="http://www.nbcsandiego.com/" target="_blank">KNSD</a>, who both reported on Curry&#8217;s departure, KNBC decided not to mention the news before the start of &#8220;Today.&#8221;</p>
<p>Curry&#8217;s teary announcement came around 8:50 a.m. ET so NBC stations on the West Coast had to decide whether or not they were going to break the news on their shows. <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/knbc-keeps-ann-curry-news-a-secret-during-morning-show_b53220#more-53220" class="more-link">continued&#8230;</a></p>

<title>Mike Dardis Named 11 p.m. Co-Anchor at WLWT</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Sheree-Paolello-profile.html"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-53259" title="mike dardis" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/files/2012/06/mike-dardis.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="209" />Sheree Paolello</a></strong> is getting a new co-anchor on <a href="http://www.wlwt.com/" target="_blank">WLWT</a>&#8216;s 11 p.m. newscast. <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Mike-Dardis-profile.html">Mike Dardis</a></strong> will join her on the anchor desk beginning tonight.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Stacy-Owen-profile.html">Stacy Owen</a></strong>, the news director at the Cincinnati NBC-affiliate, announced the news in an email to staffers that was obtained by the <em><a href="http://cincinnati.com/blogs/tv/2012/06/28/ch-5-changes-11pm-team-tonight/#comments" target="_blank">Cincinnati Enquirer</a></em>.</p>
<p>“As part of our efforts to defend and extend our multi-platform  momentum, Mike Dardis will join Sheree on News 5 at 11,&#8221; Owen wrote. &#8220;In addition to  adding new feel to the show, this will enable both Mike and Sheree to  work on special reports. The lineup of the 5, 530 and 6 stays the same.  Here’s to our own strong summer season!”</p>
<p>Dardis has been anchoring the 5 p.m. newscast and reporting for the 11 p.m. since he <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/komo-anchor-mike-dardis-set-to-join-wlwt-in-april_b39810" target="_blank">joined WLWT from KOMO</a> in April. Paolello was previously the solo anchor of the 11 p.m. newscast.</p>
