Welcome to Inside WRAL, a new blog that focuses on the interesting, strange, funny or just off-the-wall things that happen behind the scenes here at the station.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toot, toot! Yep, that's me tooting our horn. I wanted to take a minute and congratulate my co-workers who were recently honored in some local "best of" categories.

Independent Weekly recently released its annual "Best of the Triangle" list. WRAL Chief Meteorologist Greg Fishel won top honors, with Anchors David Crabtree and Bill Leslie coming in as finalists. 

Greg has taken top honors with David as a finalist since the category emerged in 2006, according to a story I saw on our company's Web site.

Also, Metro Magazine recently posted its MetroBravo awards. Each category had a Standing Ovation, MetroBravo and Honorable Mention ranking.

WRAL made the list several times:

Thanks for indulging me! I'm proud to work with so many talented people. If you work with or know someone who deserves to be recognized, make sure to let them know. Sometimes a face-to-face compliment can mean more than anything.

Crongrats to everyone, that's great

CONGRATS WRAL!!!

Thats why I hang out here on WRAL's web site. I figure it does me good to surround myself with such honerable and wonderful people!

Congratulations. That is awesome.

Congratulations to all !!!!

cool!

C♥ngratulati♥ns!!!

There is one thing missing, though...

Best daycare provider goes to........drum roll.....

Angela Connor!!!!!

WRAL.com is by far the best news/weather/sports site. I won't say I agree with the other choices, though.

Congrats. WRAL is the only news I watch. Would have to give a thumbs down to Elizabeth Gardner and Brian Schrader. They just rub me the wrong way. I have always questioned the need for TV traffic reports. Pretty much worthless in my book. I used to do traffic for WPTF and WQDR. I flew the plane and did the broadcasts. It was a hoot. I always tried to irritate Mark Grady in "Sky 101.5" by dogfighting with him.

Do other stations even have newscasts? I wouldn't know. WRAL is all I watch. Congrats guys.
