KTVZ Now Has RSS Feeds

KTVZ.com/NewsChannel21/Z-21/whatever now has an RSS feed on their Web site. They still don't have autodiscovery tags in their templates yet, so it's not as simple as plugging "ktvz.com" into your feed reader Update on 3/6: Autodiscovery is now in place, it would appear. If you append "&format=RSS" to the end of the URL, you'll get the RSS feed for that category on their site. So for example:

Now life would be good if we could just get a certain other local media outlet to get on board so I wouldn't have to keep using Jon's hacked up version for my reading.

Thanks, Jake. It's still in somewhat of a test mode, so if folks run into problems, just let us know. We'll have the tags on the pages soon, probably by mid-week, and mobile.ktvz.com is coming soon as well, for us smartphone folks who like the graphics-stripped Web pages.

I'd love to have a feed to Christian's Wx.

I know they have e-mail alerts for that, but you're right -- the RSS feed doesn't do anything on the weather page.

Yes, we do have twice-a-day e-mails of weather. Of course, it's just the synopsis - ya gotta visit KTVZ.com to see the 7-day forecast and current temp, etc.

I don't think the feeds are working!

Pleaes try again, Mrs. H - our Web guy just did some code-tweaking - and let me/us know.
