Whether it be deer or game birds that you enjoy hunting, or are considering getting into for the first time, Indiana is home to a wealth of seasonal opportunities for the hunting and trapping enthusiast.
4 weeks ago Our good friend, Owensboro filmmaker P.J. Starks, and his production house Verite Cinema recently completed a successful film series called Unscripted: an Indie Film Xperience.

5 weeks ago Owensboro's Kennedy McCollam, who was so impressive when she sang for us during the 2013 St. Jude Radiothon, has moved into the semifinals of the Kentucky Opry Talent Search. And she earned her spot there with this rousing rendition of Martina McBride's "Concrete Angel." This is beautiful!
5 weeks ago Here at WBKR, we are giving you the chance to "Come on down!" The Price is Right Live is coming to The RiverPark Center in downtown Owensboro on Wednesday, May 1st and you'll have the chance to play some of the show's most popular games and win some amazing prizes!
5 weeks ago When I was a kid, I loved watching The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman. I remember thinking how cool it would be to have a bionic leg or bionic hearing or a bionic arm. While he never in a million years thought he would have a Steve Austin or Jamie Sommers-style accident and end up with bionic limbs (he was electrocuted), Owensboro's Jason Koger is enjoying his brand new bionic hands, that he demonstrated recently when he stopped by the WBKR studios. Take a look! Jason's new Touch Bionics hands can be controlled by a phone app and they will absolutely blow your mind! This is truly one of the coolest things I have ever seen . . .
The investigation into the Boston Marathon bombing seeped into New Bedford, Mass. on Friday evening with the questioning of several people who knew suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
April 19, 2013 With the Owensboro Mud Run set to happen on Saturday at Diamond Lake, Chad decided we should run the course. I shared several videos with you from Part 1. If you haven't watched those yet, do it now, ha!
Here are a few remaining obstacles we attempted, and even threw in Chad racing Brian Smith in the mini-truck! I may or may not hit myself in the race with a rope....ok, I do, wasn't exactly how I thought that obstacle would end, ha! Want to see Chad roll down Heartbreak Hill or climb a huge rope in waders? Watch now!
April 18, 2013 To say that Owensboro's First Christian Church has its share of fans is an enormous understatement. The city's oldest church was destroyed by fire a month ago, leaving many without a church home and many more still, lamenting the loss of one of the community's most beautiful structures.
The individual responsible for threatening tweets against the University of Evansville on Tuesday which led to school officials to cancel the men's baseball game against Austin Peay State University later that day is in police custody.
April 17, 2013 The Owensboro Mud Run is THIS Saturday at Diamond Lake Resort. This event is going to be awesome! Proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society and you can still register.
Chad is always coming up with crazy ideas that I basically have no say-so in and running this course beforehand is his latest! We went out to Diamond Lake Tuesday afternoon and actually ran the entire course! (I'm still sore, I have blisters and my left leg is jacked up!) Although all of the course wasn't constructed yet, we scaled a 6 foot wall (well, I basically face-planted), we crossed grown-man monkey bars, attempted the cargo net and Chad even got in the water for those three obstacles. Watch and be prepared to laugh!
