ANN Revamps Layout, Adds OSHCasts To Daily Coverage

We know, we know... it's completely uncharacteristic for us here at ANN to do ANYTHING quietly. After all, when you have Jim Campbell for a boss, one grows accustomed to living life at setting 14 on a proverbial scale of 1-10 (for better and for worse.)

Still, when we decided to unveil a few big changes on our Aero-News homepage this time around, we took a different tack. Let's simply introduce some new content, and additional features, and wait for our readers and viewers to respond. And respond you have, almost overwhelmingly favorably.

First of all, you'll notice that for this week ANN has added two additional Aero-TV features to our daily coverage -- a special Oshkosh-related feature, as well as a 10-minute daily OSHCast recap of the day's events. We're trying both of these formats out, in anticipation of rolling out dedicated, SAME DAY events coverage at future AirVentures and other aviation events. We also plan to begin DAILY news programming in the near future... and what better place to try that plan out than at Oshkosh?

You'll notice there's also a new place to access this new video content -- our new Aero-TV sidebar, located on the right side of the ANN homepage. This provides a handy overview of all current Aero-TV features, and makes it easier for ANN readers to find the features THEY want to watch.

Lastly, on the subject of site changes... believe it or not, but we're VERY close (finally!) to the major site revamp we've been discussing over the past year or so. The Aero-TV sidebar is one preview of this upcoming change; another is the use of new, LARGER graphics and photographs. We've already started using these expanded graphical options this week, and will be gradually phasing in these changes on a larger scale over the coming months.

So -- as we're fond of saying -- stay tuned. We're doing more than ever to make Aero-News YOUR source for daily aviation news, features, and programming.
