On Saturday afternoon, June 6, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in downtown Raleigh hosts presentations and [...]
List of Dog Parks In Raleigh & The Triangle
Warmer weather is here in North Carolina and for most of us that means spending as much time as possible outside before the weather gets HOT. Since most everyone in the Triangle has a dog…dog parks have become a popular destination and social event for humans and canines alike. Gone are the days of simply [...]
What NOT To Do At The End Of A Newscast
Last Friday night, Lebron James hit a three pointer at the end of game two of the Eastern Conference Finals to give the Cleveland Cavaliers a dramatic come-from-behind win over the Orlando Magic.
As you can imagine, most everyone in the state of Ohio was watching the game and went crazy when King James made the [...]
Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien & Your Local Weatherman

Can Tiggy The Cat Really Talk, Say Hello?
I saw this video of Tiggy the talking cat earlier in the week on TV. It’s received more than 7 million hits on YouTube and while most people think it’s real…a few of you are NOT buying it. Here is what Tiggy’s owner has to say….
My cat can say hello, she only does it when she’s [...]
Meet The Treadmill Walking Dog
Dog walking in the winter and dog walking in the middle of the summer is usually fun for only one person…the dog. I now have a solution that should make everyone happy!
First, I need to tell you about Corey, he is our senior audio engineer here at NBC17. If you hear it on our newscast [...]
Law & Order, Chuck Return For NBC, Not Earl Or Medium
NBC released their Fall 2009 through Spring 2010 television schedule Tuesday. On the long list of shows returning to the peacock network were Chuck and Law & Order. Not on the list, My Name Is Earl or Medium. NBC really didn’t talk about the Earl or Medium omissions, but they did talk a lot about [...]
