I love your new site....  I only wish your message boards were more active. I love putting my two cents on local issues and news. Maybe if you put  a link on the main webpage , like , " Todays Message Board Thread " it would get them rolling.

The new site is a lot more accessable with the exception of the news...I find it hard to access all the top stories of the day...maybe it's just me. All in all...I like the new features and love the new Breaking news alerts, weather alerts and school closings that you can just click on and go to right off the home page. Good job!

I'm not sure what I think about your new site. I got too familiar with the old one, I guess. I find many things harder to find now, such as the weather. Once I get there (That part is easy enough) I usually can't find what I'm looking for without having to go in and keep looking.

Your sign up page for your forums is bad. Most people are going to have problems reading small black print on a dark blue background. I had to highlight everything on every page so I could know what I was doing.

First off I didn't use the old site. I signed up for the site a few days ago because I love to take pictures and thought I would send in a few in from time to time. It seemed like a good idea since WKRC wants to see viewer PIXS.
I have submitted at least 3 pictures to the photo gallery but have never seen one posted. All the pictures were accepted and awaiting for the moderator to approve. If only certain pictures are going to be posted I think you should indicate that on the site.  

MODERATOR'S NOTE:
The number of photos submitted in such a short time had us all here at the station a little overwhelmed. However, every acceptable photo that was submitted has been published to our gallery. When you have a moment, you can scan through the more than 1,300 photos--there are some beautiful shots in there!

I wasn't around for the old Local12, but I LOVE this website. I think everything is easy to locate. I think that 12 has the best local news coverage, combined with local presence in the community. My family and I appreciate everything you guys do for the community. Your website is just an example of the elaborate detail that goes into all of local 12's work. I have watched channel 12 since I was a little girl, now I'm 25 and I hope to have many more years of tuning in.

I also didn't use the old website much but I do like the one you have now - wish y'all would include SE Indiana a little bit more than just in the weather report...You have lots of viewers over here too!  There's more to us than just gambling boats  :)
My family and I do appreciate how involved your anchors and others are involved in the community in Cincinnati, we just feel a little forgotten over her by our section of 275 - you have great people working for you - keep up the good work!

I just registered as a new user and the registration page was very difficult to see.  Dark blue backround with black lettering.  I could barely see what the instructions were.

I just joined to see if there was anything about the upcoming trial of Charles Martin, that starts tomorrow.  You kinow, the guy who shot down a 15 yr old kid for stepping on his grass (which happened to belong to the township or county because he just stepped his foot on it while running down the road?????????)

I've been away from Local12 lately because I absolutely cannot watch Anna Townsend in the morning. I love John and Steve but she's terrible. Anyway, I tried to send comments via the contact page and got nothing but dead links. I don't know if this is a one day occurence, but thought I'd take the time to register and post here. I don't know who's in charge of personnel but they need to take a new look and Anna Townsend.

I think your site is a great idea, and I might mention that yours is the only local news station that has a public forum on their site, Who knows, maybe you're the only local news that cares what your viewers are thinking? thanks!

For my own protection I will remain annoymus. What I'm about to tell you is 100 % fact. Charlie Dion of 14 Circlewood Dr Coventry, RI 02816-6643 is a major drug dealer with all kinds of connections. The West Warwick Police Department are fully aware of this but yet do nothing. Despite numberous robberies he has commited along with other crimes he is allowed to stay on the streets and prey on the people around him. Steven Veinza who is prescribed vicodin for pain sells these to Dion for money. They are prescribed by a Doctor J. Machata. Steven is a scam artist and has probably scammed money out of you if you live in the West Warwick area. He drives around and goes to various Dunkin Donuts and other places and lies about orders he never made in order to get free food and ciggerates. He is a fat man with a balding head and talks really fast. He gets SSI and uses the money to buy crack and other drugs. He finds people that are in a hard place and moves in with the promise he will help them with rent than steals from them and takes off right before rents due leaving them to be evicted. I'm telling you this so you can be safe and not be victim to one of these abusers like I have been. Justice is not being given and someone must take it into thier own hands when the police refuse to step up to the plate. Something must be done about the crime in West Warwick. Just this year alone my apartment has been robbed serveral times and the police have done nothing even though they have witnesses fingerprints and all the evidence points to Charlie Dion. Perhaps he is paying off the police why else is he still on the street instead of jail. How many others have these people hurt and gotten away with it. What will it take for someone to put a stop to it.

You should give other optioins when you conduct your polls. For example:
When you asked voters who they would vote, for you gave only two names McCain and Osama. You should also include "none of the above" for those of us who didn't like either.

I have been checking all news on the net and 12 is the worst I have seen of all!!
not just how things are put in here but what 12 puts on here!
12 just reminds me of the "national enquire" or another other trash new station!!
now I have busted them again making a little story seem like it the end of the world!!
no wonder 12 is the lowest ranked in cincinnati you can get better info from an
homeless person or any other new station in cincinnati  (19 wxix / 9 wcpo / 5 wlwt )
