Today in the News 7/31/2013:

Stories I found interesting yesterday were the sky in our area are hazy because of fires burning in Portland. The Sacramento Kings have decided on Turner Construction to build the new sports arena downtown. The other story is a bit of a homer story. On Monday Mark S. Allen asked the viewers of Good Day Sacramento to view We're the Millers with him but with 1 catch... Your last name must be Miller.... 247 Millers showed up and 1 Allen. Good Day Sacramento Viewers You ROCK!

Final thoughts: Other than the bore factor I get watching My58 & Fox in the morning I thought both shows had a lot of entertainment value to watch today starting off with Mae at the Baton camp, at first I wasn't sold on it until she did reporter involvement. No it wasn't the prettiest twirl but she did catch it before it hit the ground.

Fox also did okay today. It was funny watching Paul cringe in his chair talking about Kid Rock doing something to give back at Shriners. Get use to it Paul. You may not like his music because you can't hear it in elevators but he's (Kid) is a pretty decent guy.

But let's face it despite Tina, Mark, & Ju being MIA. (Missing  in Action) Good Day Sacramento still won the ratings. Anytime you can have Jason "Toots" Maloney aka @trucktracker007 on twitter do a live shot that includes running, jumping, tumbling then dodge ball after that, it is comedy gold. Of course the return of Cody after his 2 days off is always nice. I'm also enjoying the new feature "Your Daily Joe" with Marianne.

Overall I thought all 3 shows did a decent job today. If I had to rank them 3-1 it would be Fox40, My58, and Good Day Sacramento as my #1 show of the day.

Have a great rest of your day and check back tomorrow.
