Nancy Kman started out working in radio as a news reporter and then anchor for WILK. She covered many sensational trials including the Glen Wolsieffer, Jose Sanchez, and Frank Ossellanie murder trials. Nancy dabbled in television news as a reporter for WYOU TV in the early 90’s, covering the Blizzard of ’93 that crippled the region.
Nancy worked as part of the morning show on sister station Froggy 101 before returning to her newstalk roots at WILK in 2000. On September 11, 2001, Nancy was at the helm at WILK when 9/11 broke. In 2007, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, followed by numerous reconstructive surgeries.
Nancy, a Democrat, is a wife and mother of two who believes that people come before corporations. She lives in Susquehanna County where she enjoys gardening, reading, travelling, and becoming one with the universe
It was sad but not surprising to hear the news of Whitney Houston's death this weekend. Whether you like the type of music she sang, no doubt she was one of the most gifted singers we've ever had the pleasure of hearing. What was most disturbing to me...
As a breast cancer survivor and fervent Komen supporter, I am extremely saddened by their recent decision to cut funding for breast cancer screening services at Planned Parenthood. There are a lot of people angry, but I can say that I am bitterly...
A New Year is here. For many it's a new start. We overeat, overindulge and just plain go to excess for the holidays and this is when we try to right the ship.
As I look at 2012, I see a year full of dissention. It's a Presidential Election year and...
Every since I was a kid, I absolutely adored my Mom's Spritz cookies at Christmastime. We would sneak the dough and gobble it up while 'helping' her make the cookes every year. Now that I'm a Mom, I share this joy with my kids. My daughter Rachael...
Your first reaction is always the best course of action. Too often we talk ourselves out of doing the right thing. Many times, other people will talk us out as well. I don't know what happened in Mike McQueary's mind when he allegedly walked in on Jerry...
Former Luz. Co. Judge Michael Conahan was a different man in federal court than the man many people knew for many years he held public office. Conahan moved quickly up the ladder, District Magistrate, Judge, and then President Judge. People who worked...
Thought I'd post an email I got from a Barletta supporter, along with my response following the interview Webster & I had with Congressman Lou Barletta Wednesday on the show.
I think you owe Lou an apology. You have to be professional at all...
Hi. My name is Nancy, and I have tremor envy. At 1:53pm on Tuesday August 24th I was in the car, enroute to an appointment with the veterinarian. I was driving on a road that was under construction and being sprayed with fresh oil. Having just purchased...
It was a depressing weekend, with news of the credit downgrade and the terrible helicopter crash in Afghanistan which killed 31 of our brave heroes. Finger-pointing and blame is being spread all around and what are our esteemed leaders doing? They're on...
Age? Let’s just say I remember when Captain Kangaroo was the clown on the Howdy Doody show.
Approximately zero percent athletic ability but I didn’t let that stop me from being the ‘star’ 2nd baseman for Gildea’s Pharmacy. To compound my dorkiness and make matters even worse I took accordion lessons as a kid.
In high school I tried out for football but that was way too much like work. Opted instead to wear the cougar suit at football games. (Opposing team cheerleaders think it’s cute when ‘the cougar’ paws them.)
Squeezed 4 years into 5 ½ at East Stroudsburg University, “The Cheapest Resort in the Poconos” graduating with a BS (heh) degree in education. Yes, I was supposed to be a teacher and if I had followed that path I’D BE RETIRED NOW! (I blame my guidance counselors for not seeing the lazy streak a mile wide in me.)
Been in radio since 1980 beginning with a part-time news job on Saturday mornings at WCDL in Carbondale. WILK is the 4th station I’ve worked at. The first was a Sunoco.
Married my lovely wife Karen in 1983, we have two great (grown) kids, John and Emily.
It's been some time since she's been in a movie that anyone's paid attention to, but who said Daryl Hannah can't even get arrested? She and about a hundred other people were rounded up in front of the White House earlier in the week. They were...
Okay, we don't get a lot of earthquakes in good ol' \"nort deest Pee Yay\", that is true. So when the earth moves under our feet (or select your cheesy earthquake-related lyric and insert here) it's natural that it gets our attention.
But...
\"Quit while you're behind\" is not much of an attitude to take no matter the circumstance but sometimes it just fits.
Say for instance you're the head of a police union who lays awake nights trying to figure out how to let the mayor know that you...
April 12th, 2011 marks the fiftieth anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's orbit of the earth.
'First Orbit' is a real-time recreation of that flight featuring footage shot from the International Space Station and Gagarin's flight plus original...
As of this posting the video has received 3x the views of the actual Obama campaign ad on YouTube.
President Obama supporters might be prompted to leave the standard \"At least he doesn't say nucular\" in response so view at your own risk....
Republican state representative Rick Geist of Altoona who is also chairman of the House Transportation Committee has an idea.
Since we're starting to see more and more people buy increasingly fuel efficient vehicles, he's worried that the...
Larry King has retired from CNN after twenty-five years but does he still write a column or is that long gone? It used to be in USA Today but since my parakeet escaped I don't need the newspaper anymore.
Regardless, what I liked about Larry...
I noticed the end-of-a-baseball-bat-sized ding in the side of the family truckster the other day.
Nice.
I asked my wife if she knew anything about it. She didn't and I believe her. I did however give her some static about the scrape on...
A recent study says that the under 35 population in our area is one of the lowest concentrations of that particular demographic in the country. They're leaving in droves. I guess the reason is mostly that you can make more money in the big...
