KCTV5's Katie Horner...party girl?
apparently shes single and on the prowl for all you young single KC guys....
http://www.kcconfidential.com/full_c...full=yes&pbr=1 Sometimes stories rise from odd and unusual circumstances... Take the latest on fading fast, KCTV weather wonk Katie Horner. I was recently asked to profile her for a local magazine. Nothing controversial, mind you, quite the opposite as a matter of fact. So I made several attempts to contact her at Channel 5 and at what I believed to be her home phone number. Nada. After not hearing back for more than a week, I thought the better of it and given the rumors that KCTV was not renewing her contract, left her a couple messages assuring her that there was no connection whatsoever to her leaving. That the story I wanted to write would be a little lively, but in no way a "Katie Is Getting Fired" affair. Still nothing. So on I moved where the profile was concerned, but my curiostity was piqued; why wouldn't Katie call me back? A little digging was warranted. So I poked around. Hmmm, there's a "Save Katie Horner" page on Facebook. To go with all the Katie Horner scares me and fire Katie Horner pages. Only 31 fans, though. Sounds about right. "The people who complain about her are the same people who get sucked out of their house because they werent paying attention," offered Horner fan Arthur Floyd. "Katie is a goddess trying to keep us mere mortals safe." Then it happened, I struck gold. I stumbled onto Horner's unprotected, personal Facebook page. A page that not only revealed that the two-time wife and mommy was divorced and single again, but was maybe in full scale party mode. Horner must have protected the page as I couldn't scare it up for the liefe of me yesterday. Until I found a link on KMBC weather wonk Bryan Busby's page this morning. I can pass along a flashback regarding the now-former Mr. Horner from my column of October 5, 2003: "About KCTV weather wonder woman Katie Horner's bambino-to-be with new hubby, Frank Armato. Here's a scoop for you, Horner hollers. His dad is delivering the baby. "I just figured you couldn't get a doctor to care more for a baby than his own grandfather," Horner told me. That would be North Kansas City Hospital ob-gyn David Myers." I remember a number of women at the time being creeped out by the thought of a father-in-law delivering his son's wife's kid, but what the heck. It's a brave new world out there - even in 2003 |

still waiting for anything that puts Horner in 'party mode' other than she's divorced.

KC Pitch Blog on 5/13 sez Katie's days may be numbered at KCTV5:
http://blogs.pitch.com/plog/2011/05/...t_at_kctv5.php http://bottomlinecom.com/katiehorneroutatkctv.html Katie Horner on the way out at KCTV5? Weep for the end of the Katie Horner Drinking Game By Justin Kendall Fri., May 13 2011 at 9:12 AM Looks like the folks at FireKatie.com are finally getting their wish. Bottom Line Communications is reporting that Katie Horner is getting shown the door at KCTV5 and should be gone by summer (so no more interruptions for How I Met Your Mother or NCIS). Media watcher John Landsberg writes that the CBS affiliate "has been conducting secret focus-group tests with potential weather candidates around the country." He notes that KCTV5 wouldn't confirm or deny the story. If true, we may have seen our last Horner-gasm -- and played our last round of the Katie Horner Drinking Game. Horner has been at KCTV5 since 1994; she became the station's chief meteorologist in 1998. She's best-known for breaking into programs with hysterical and overprotective weather news. (She once told children to wear bike helmets during severe storms.) The Katie Horner Drinking Game was created by Adam Yarbrough one stormy night in 2009 when Horner interrupted regularly scheduled programming for another marathon forecast. So one last time, here's the game (just don't blame us when you're black-out drunk): The Katie Horner Drinking Game If Katie's wearing jeans, it's clearly casual day. All players must be in their underwear. If Katie mentions a watch or a warning of any type, hold tight to your drink and sip nervously. If Katie tells you it's hailing in your area, run outside to freshen the ice in your cup. If Katie speaks directly to your children, give them a heavy dose of cough syrup. (If you don't have kids, drink it yourself.) If Katie says, "Tonganoxie," everyone passes their drink to the person on the right and chugs. If Katie says, "Take cover," top off your drink. It's gonna be a long night. If Katie talks about being scared for your life, chug. If Katie asks the audience to e-mail her rainfall totals or storm-damage reports, take a crazy party pic and send it to her. If Katie references Newschopper 5, take 5 gulps. If Katie announces a tornado warning, fire up the blender and make some pina coladas. If Katie talks about Doppler coupling, make out with the person to your left. If Katie walks off screen, take a long, steady chug until she returns. If Katie talks about peace of mind, drink. If Katie tells you that you're in the clear, the game ends. If a tornado actually hits your house, move the party to KCTV5 and get Katie drunk with you! |

Someone I know who worked in an OB unit where she had one of her kids alleged that the bringer of weathers doom and gloom has a raging case of the herp.

Look at it as a positive - if anybody on here ever runs into her during a night of crazy binge drinking and gets tempted to hit it, they now can factor this into their thinking, and possibly save themselves a future Valtrex prescription.

Not to mention the fact that she was never my patient nor do I have access to any of her medical records. This was merely a rumor.

How so? It wasn't him that was privy to her health records. He's just fulfilling the man duty of warning about tainted cooter.
