What’s with KHON2’s New Site?

What’s with KHON2’s new web site? I don’t go there often, but it’s very different from the last time I visited. I don’t like it.

Doesn’t work well in Safari. The search box disappears on me. The big blue Breaking News section is not clickable/linked so it’s a waste of time. That middle column that has the Weather info has nothing else in it (what a waste of space!). Oh wait, on other pages, this white space is filled with Google Ads. Not sure how I feel about Google Ads on a news station web site. Kust doesn’t feel right and what would Google use as keywords to target the ads? I can understand the Dr. Phil and Oprah ads since these shows air on KHON.

Never did like scrolling banners on web sites. Just seems strange. Okay on TV where I sit there and simply watch a TV without interacting with it. But on a computer where I use a mouse and keyboard, it seems strange to sit back and watch the scrolling banner when my learned instincts with web sites is to click on something.

Only good thing I can see is the addition of their own video footage on the site.
