Early, early, early Friday morning Kim, myself, and a select group of Central Florida social media practitioners met at the WESH 2 studios in Maitland for a behind-the-scenes look at the facility and the business.

The morning began with a treat thanks to The Daily City: waffles (via @ Melissa’s Chicken & Waffles)! Much needed at 6:15am, for sure! Then after everyone licked their fingers in delight, we all checked in and got the download about WESH 2 by way of Digital Manager @gabetrav and Team.

One of highlights of the morning, for sure, was getting an opportunity to watch a live broadcast of the news. Fascinating! Thanks to the Wesh 2 Crew for being so curtious:

• Jason Guy
• Syan Rhodes
• Kimberly Williams
• Amy Sweezey
• Aixa Diaz

Thanks, WESH, for this great experience! It’s much appreciated.

We’re super-excited to have been invited to next Friday’s Morning Tweetup at the WESH 2 studios. Anyone can apply but space is extremely limited. Not sure what the qualifications are to participate but you can find details here, as well as by visiting the WESH.com site.

We will, of course, follow-up with a detailed post*–including photos–after our visit next Friday!

Orlando Sentinel’s television critic posted on his blog (Hal Boedecker the TV Guy) today that WESH news veteran Wendy Chioji is leaving the station this May. This is significant news, particularly since she has been with the station for 20 years.

Much of Central Florida grew to love and admire Wendy, an Emmy-award winning reporter, when they shared in her battle with cancer several years ago. To read the story on Hal’s blog click here. You can also read the story at Wesh.com.
