As the media landscape changes and we deal with new ways to get news and information, broadcast television still plays an important role. The national 24-hour cable networks aren't equipped to report on issues that are specific to Northern Nevada, and even as more news moves online, local news shows play an indispensable part.
Not all that news needs to be heavy or serious or focused on things like crime and disasters. There's also room for lifestyle content that highlights nonprofits and events and change makers in the community. That's where Katey Roshetko and her morning show "Morning Break" on KOLO channel 8 come in. Morning Break airs 5 days a week at 9:00 am and features a wide variety of local guests.
On this episode of Renoites, Conor and Katey talked about her journey into local broadcasting from early dreams of being a Disney star, overcoming anxiety in a highly visible profession, the difference between video and audio formats for news and talk, strategies for making interview guests feel at ease, how local news stations can remain relevant in the digital media era, the effects of large corporation ownership of local television stations, and much more!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
