New Job at KODE

And so my adventures in TV continue.



I have accepted a reporting position at KODE/KSNF-TV in Joplin, Missouri; here's their facebook page for more info; just search for "KODE/KSN"

And you can visit their website here for the latest clips and information about their TV station just go to






I am very excited to make the move. It will be difficult to leave Kentucky as it is hard to move away from "home" anywhere. Though I was born and raised in North Carolina and will always be a Carolina girl, Kentucky has been my home for the past several years - as I went to college at Asbury (now University) and then took my first television broadcasting position at WYMT-TV in Hazard.





I interned at LEX-18 and WKYT-27 both in Kentucky and have many many friends in the bluegrass.



For this I am SO thankful.
But all that said, the move to Joplin, Missouri will be a good one - one which I continue to prepare for daily, and look forward to the transition.

All my love to my Kentucky family and to my new Missouri home, I tell you, "see you soon!"




I will continue to publish my adventures in reporting and the television business here on my blog "The Life and Times of Morgan Kathleen Schutters."

Thanks for following me!

God's blessings to all.

Here we go...

I have various items packed in bags scattered around my apartment ... why?

I'm headed to the 20-10 Vancouver Olympics!

I will be working for OBSV (Olympic Broadcasting Services Vancouver) doing broadcast media ... audio ... aside from that I'll have to give you more details later when I actually know what all the job entails.

Friday night I'm meeting up with one of my friends from Asbury College who's also working there ... Will and I won't have cell phone service up in Canada because on AT&T its a little overpriced -- not worth it. So we'll use Skype to meet up.

It's a strange feeling first of all traveling to another country alone and second of all knowing I don't have a cell phone to use ...!

I will leave in the morning to head home and then leave from the airport early Friday morning to fly to Chicago then Seattle and finally Vancouver!

Everyone at work at WYMT has been so supportive and excited for me to go ... I know its a hard time for this to happen ... February is ratings in the news industry ... but yet they all know this is a once in a lifetime opportunity that I'll have ... something I'll probably never get a chance to do again.

I'm hoping to accomplish a lot while I'm away ... for a month!

Then come back to Kentucky and to work at WYMT refreshed and rejuvenated!

As for now ... its time for bed ... tomorrow starts the beginning of a great adventure!

Its late and I can't sleep... too much running through my head to be tired.

Can't sleep. I'm too excited for the weekend. And, I drank a coke. Before bed. Stupid! What was I thinking. That was so dumb.

I know caffeine affects me!

Oh well. Too late now! I'm headed home tomorrow and I could not possibly be more excited. Its going to rock.

I would love to produce the four pm newscast tomorrow, but I don't know if I can pull that off... I am supposed to produce the 6pm newscast. We will see. I'll ask Ashley if we can switch back.

I was looking on facebook at some old photos Jill tagged me in; wow. Old as in back in the day when I was in Kindergarten at the private Christian school I went to before I was homeschooled. So long ago! And yet I remember the giant plastic hippo on the playground we'd play on and the swingset ... field day and group pictures once a year. Our whole school fit into a giant photo!

And I see my friend Emily and her husband in Cali ... they are the cutest godly couple. Trendy, beautiful and full of the Lord's light. That is what I aspire to be. A real world example of how Jesus would be if he walked in physical human shoes.

I can tell I'm over tired. I'm rambling about the most random things. Its good to get it all out though every once in a while. Because really, no one reads this blog. I mean, who am I kidding? i'm just one girl, living her life, writing about it on the giant space called the internet.
