Over at ksdk.com, it appears anchor Karen Foss and sportscaster Frank Cusumano have been blogging since near the end of April.

Foss' entries thus far have been musings on the nature of news, especially of the local and broadcast varieties, attempting perhaps to give viewers a look behind the decision-making. She also wrote a piece about her experiences when temporarily laid-up in a wheelchair.

Cusumano's blog ("Let's Be Frank," natch) is a bit folksier, consisting of a once-weekly column which often comprises a whole bunch of "I believe..." statements. And he's also pimping his favorite restaurants pretty hard. These are pretty representative:

"I believe that the Cardinals better make a staggering offer to Mark Mulder very soon. If he goes into the open market, it's over. They have no chance. And Mulder is not a Randy Johnson. He's in his prime and a very coachable young man."

"I think Paul Manno's is one of the finest places to have pasta in St. Louis. Every time I go there, I feel like I am cheating on my family."

"ONE THING TO KEEP AN EYE ON. Lance Stemler, a wonderful player from Southwestern Illinois College has got to got to SLU. He's 6 foot 7with a great touch. The Billikens are recruiting him hard."

"Mo's Mexican restaurant is worth a try - very tasty and really affordable."

Welcome to the blogosphere, kids.
