4 weeks ago American Idol's version of the NCAA Final Four is underway and our four remaining contestants were singing for the Final Three last night. It was a night of big voices, even bigger disappoinments and an odd shift in judges' opinions. What did WBKR's Idol expert, Steve Thompson, think about the show?
Dogs, as the saying goes, are man’s best friend, so it's only right and logical that we might want to spend some quality time with our buds. Walks in the park and tossing the Frisbee on the beach are great, but if you really want to engage the human-canine relationship—and have a really good time while you’re at it—you might want to think about setting up a dog agility course in your backyard or garden.

I am a child of the '80s, so like many others, I grew up with the Duke boys, Bo and Luke. But I'm not sure other people who watched 'The Dukes of Hazzard' are as obsessed with the star of the show as I am.

4 weeks ago If you've ever been to our studios, then you know to never be surprised at what you'll see. Normally, there are some type of party decorations dangling from the ceiling from a birthday party no less than six months ago. For some reason, it appears that Santa Clause got stuck in the roof, because his leg is hanging from the celing tile. And, who can forget the floor to ceiling blue carpet on the walls?!?! Ha! So, it takes a lot to surprise me when I walk into work every morning.
Well, when I walked into work on Thursday, I was surprised. And, a little confused!
4 weeks ago I've seen this link all over my facebook news feed, but just now watched it. KMart's "Ship My Pants" is one of the funniest commercials ever! And, with over 15 million views on youtube, looks like I'm not the only one who finds this hilarious!
If you haven't seen it yet, stop what you're doing and watch it!! You'll thank me, haha! Oh, you can "ship your pants" too!
4 weeks ago St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is one of my favorite places in the world. It is a place of hope for children and their families that one day, childhood cancer and other catastrophic diseases will be a thing of the past. St. Jude makes sure that patients have everything they need to fulfill their dreams!
On Thursday night, during the NFL Draft, one patient will get to experience an amazing dream come true!
4 weeks ago Up, Down and Dirty For a Cure is in the books! And Owensboro's first-ever Mud Run was a HUGE hit. Hundreds tackled the boot camp-inspired course last weekend at Diamond Lake Campground and Resort and a handful blazed through it. While I ran the course, kissed the ground at the finish line, then immediately ran to the Atmos Energy grill to get a hamburger, others took the course VERY seriously. And they just KILLED it! Check out the full list of winners and our complete Mud Run Photo Gallery!
4 weeks ago At the Aspire to Stardom Talent Competition over the weekend in Clarksville, Tennessee, Owensboro singing sensation Skylar Cain "Let 'Er Rip." Literally! Her performance of the classic Dixie Chicks song earned her first place among hundreds of contestants. We have video of her performance and a list of what she won. You won't believe how well she sang and how much cash this kid pocketed for besting the field! Take a look!

Anytime anyone gets sick, especially children, we always ask our friends and family to pray for them. And, I absolutely believe that prayers can bring miracles upon the sick. But, I also believe that the combination of medical care AND prayers is the best bet. These parents do not agree with me. Last week, they lost their SECOND child to illness, after prayer-only healing.

In 2009, Herbert and Catherine Schaible lost their 2-year-old son, Kent, to bacterial pneumonia—a condition they refused to let a doctor treat, insisting on using only prayer to heal him. Last week, their second son died. He, too, failed to receive any potentially life-saving medical care.
