The recent changes to our award-winning Web site cater to the thousands of viewers clicking "play" on our online videos every week.

With our newly installed Flash player, you can actually transform the Home page into a full-screen video. It's much like watching TV, and we did it without sacrificing the quality you've come to expect from our online videos.

Below the top video, you can tap into the related story where you can learn more from our coverage and about our staff.

Below the video player, is where you'll find our Breaking News box. When news breaks, you'll see this yellow box pop-up.

And remember, you can always sign up to have breaking news delivered right to your inbox. Just go to KTKA.com/alerts.

You asked for more multimedia and we have delivered. We launched a new feature, which provides you one-stop-shopping for video, stories, photos and other content with a common theme or topic. We will bring you more of these exciting, media-rich projects in the coming months. (See one here.)

We've also answered the growing demand for online entertainment news, giving more space to our twice-weekly movie reviews, which you can now find by scrolling halfway down the home page and looking on the left.

We hope you enjoy our Web site's new offerings, but now it's time for me to log back on and update the content on our new Home page.
