amFIX: A quick tour

Hi everyone,

Welcome to amFIX. Let me give you a quick tour.

We’ve tried to keep the design as clean as possible. Each blog post has an avatar next to the byline at the top so you can easily identify who it was posted by. That way if you only want to read a post by a certain reporter, just scroll down until you see their face.

Each day starts off with What’s on Tap, which gives you a rundown of who and what you can see on the show.

That is followed up by Fast Forward, a look at the stories that will be making news later in the day. It’s kind of like a cheat sheet for what will be news in the hours ahead.

Business Correspondent Christine Romans blogs each morning about the latest financial and economic news in Minding Your Business. The rest of the AM reporters will post throughout the day with news and commentary on the stories they are following.

We want as much feedback from you as possible. So now we have a toll-free phone number for you to call and leave your voice comments/questions. 1-877-MY-AM-FIX. We will pick some of these and air them on the show each day. We’ll even take some of them that we don’t air and post them in a daily blog called We Listen, along with your feedback from Facebook, Twitter, email and the amFIX blog comments. It’s a daily round-up of the best feedback from you. Because honestly, we do listen. Oh and just a note about comments: Please keep them brief and free of any profanity. That includes using characters to m@sk w0rd$. We will not approve them.

So the long and short of it – we have a ton of ways for you to reach out to us. There’s no excuse not to!

And stay tuned. We have some more exciting things planned for the future.

Welcome to our new blog! It’s called amFIX and we hope you get hooked!

We’ve replaced the old American Morning show page with amFIX because we wanted a way to better communicate with YOU, our viewers. So communicate away, folks! Post comments to the blog, follow us on Twitter, become a fan on Facebook, or send us an iReport or email.

Whatever method you choose, we promise to read them all and we’ll even share some of them on-air and on the blog each day!

At amFIX you will find stories and video from American Morning reporters and producers and behind the scenes blogs from the both of us. We’ll keep you updated on the stories we’re following and give you advance notice when we have guests we think you’ll find interesting.

This is just the beginning and we welcome your feedback so make sure you tell us what you like (and don’t like) and what you want to see more of.

And don’t forget, each day, get your amFIX!

John and Kiran
