Welcome Lane

Welcome Lane Stone. Lane has actually been at the station for about 3 weeks, meeting contacts in the community, learning our editing and writing computer programs, co-anchoring with Ron at noon..... now Lane begins what will be her normal routine. She is the co-anchor and producer of KTAB News at 5. That means she writes and organizes the 5pm newscast and co-anchors it with Victor Sotelo, and Sam Nichols does the weather.
After the news, interviews and banter at 5, she turns right around to co-anchor the 6pm with me, and then helps get things ready for the 10 o'clock.
It will be a long day, but after just these short weeks, Lane is easily picking up all our systems, our news values, and learning to deal with the various characters in the newsroom.
She is definately a news professional, knowing what counts as a news story. But she is also a "people person" interested in what is happening to residents of the Big Country. She has a dog and cats, too. Lane likes sports. So she has lots of interests, which means she likes to know about things that you like to know about.
We're happy to have Lane with us, and look forward to continuing Coverage You Can Count On and doing it in the Spirit of the Big Country.
