Denver's 7 today has changed their web address for the first time since March 1, 2001.  Does this mean there will be a major website update coming?  We haven't heard anything but won't be surprised if it happens in the coming weeks. 

WRTV in Indianapolis changed its web address from "theindychannel.com" to wrtv.com back in April with the current Scripps layout.

FOX31 & Colorado's Own Channel 2 Live Truck.

I saw this on Thursday while traveling in Centennial, CO.   One of FOX31 / Colorado's Own Channel 2 live trucks headed back to the station.  It got on to I-25 headed towards downtown Denver.  

I seldom see live trucks or satellite trucks out and about here in Denver so when I do I try to get a photo.  (I'm usually in the wrong place at the wrong time to get a photograph)
