27 Teams and 27 Cats in 27 Days

At WKYT the sports department took on a couple of huge projects for the month of August. The first is 27 teams in 27 days (WKYT is channel 27). Starting this evening and for the next 26 days WKYT will run a package on a different high school football team. Now...let me tell you how big this project is. It involved contacting and setting up a time for 27 high school football coaches along with 2 players from each team to sit down for an interview. It then involved going to practice and pulling past game film of all 27 teams. Overall it's a huge undertaking but and great idea and the execution is going wonderful so far.

The second project is also a big undertaking. It's 27 cats in 27 days. Starting Monday and running for 27 consecutive days there will be a package running on the evening newscast highlighting 27 UK football players. This was not quite as huge an undertaking but it's still pretty amazing. There's also a little surprise that I've been instructed not to share so the competition doesn't hear about it.

Overall...I think it's projects like these that make WKYT 27 Sports First the number one station in Lexington.
