Just saw this news breaking online and I had to share it!  I am a YouTube fiend.  I watch videos on YouTube nearly every day.  I love it and, because of my hectic schedule, often live by it for quick updates of news, sports and pop culture.  And now, YouTube is preparing for the launch of YouTube Re…

It's hard to believe, but YouTube is celebrating it's 9-year anniversary this year.  Check this out.  It's the first video ever uploaded to the site.

Who doesn't love The Wizard of Oz? Okay, the flying monkeys may be a little scary, aside from that, it's one of the most beloved stories and movies of all time. We all know the 1939 movie, The Wiz (love it!), but now, what you are about to watch is one of the most unique and creative inter…

This video of my 2 step-sons and my 11 month old daughter is destined to be a big hit on YouTube, she got the giggles as water splashed around, I crack up everytime I watch it and hope you do too!?!

This is awesome! It's exactly why we all fell in love with Youtube in the first place. Grandparents Bruce and Esther Huffman trying to figure out their new webcam while actually recording on the webcam is one of the funniest things I have ever seen...

We've had a number of new artists visit the WBKR studios over the years. And we have a number of local artists with amazing talent who have either visited or performed in the various talent competitions that I've had the good fortune to judge. And I tell them all the same thing, "You have to be…
