Com. john back to you. 6 17 time for my biggest winners and loser in sports and im going to let you play nhl commissioner and make the decision on this play. ive already got my vote and thats why this falls under the category of biggest loser. take a look at this. calgary claims Dennis Wideman skating off when he cross checks right into the boards. the ref Don Henderson was shaken up on the play. now no penalty was called i guess the other ref didnt see it but the video shows you everything. skates right into him and if this is ruled as an intentional hit on a referee, he will serve a minimum 20 game suspension. after the game wideman he couldnt avoid the referee. really . you let me know on social media. does that look like he couldnt avoid him . wow. happier note my biggest winners are the green bulldogs, fifth grade Girls Basketball travel team just won the championship in the barberton winter league. they won all three games in the tournament to win the championship. kelly sent in the picture and says all coaches and parents are very proud of the girls and so are we. great job to the green bulldogs. if youd like to nominate your champion send me the picture morningshow wkycraft.

Com and our wkyc app so we hope youll check it out and jimmy. i believe he will be doing this dance at the award show. jimmy congratulations. way to go. still ahead, getting rid of the cable box. a new fcc proposal that could make those bulky boxes a thing of the past. hi holly. and whose ready for weather out your window . stunning sunrise, for pretty obvious reasons look at the color of the skies, you captured a beauty there. thank you for all of your picture. i look forward to opening these up every day, send them directly to me at my email and alright new fcc proposal could revolutionize how we all watch tv. interesting because this is not something i really thought about. we talk about cable boxes, i use this company a, im going to use the equipment they provide. because you need to. exactly. you dont have a choice but an fcc proposal would change the equipment that were in essence all held hostage to. if you want to enjoy all of the provider, youre stuck with their box until now. maybe, take a look. now i want to remind you whether you have timewarner or comcast this is even something that could affect dish subscribers, we dont really know how far it will go, but you have been paying between 12 and 22 per month for their box. now yes, the boxes are great but you can easily get around that if this fcc proposal to include cable access on apple tv and amazon fire tv as well as other set top boxes including chrome cast goes through. imagine, spending just 100 once for the box of your choice where you get your streaming capability but you can also plug your Cable Services in. this is something that could in essence revolutionize cable and someone that actually enjoys this a lot more than what many cable providers offer this is huge. savings wise, Technology Wise and Consumer Rights wise as well. but these Cable Companies hike up the prices to make up for the lack of revenue. there is that chance. a lot of people thought they would do that when people started unsubscribing and streaming but so far enough infrastructure in place to protect the consumer. and they are regulated too right . exactly but it could happen so lena is prepared. i like that. whose going to sell me the next dish to put on the house . yeah. here is holly with a look at the forecast. its looking like its going to get snowy later. were tracking a clipper system, a light shower possible this morning. we may see a few peaks of sunshine midday. well be mid to upper 30s with the clipper system having an impact for Late Afternoon and into this evening and tonight. it will happen pretty fast and all about the timing on the travel map youll see the clipper itself is still far to our north and west. i think timing is going to be like 4 00 p. M. and into the evening commute so that is how to go about planning your day. forecast highs lets get a look were upper 30s in detroit today, low 40s in philly, upper 60s with more rain expected in florida west coast is looking pretty nice at least in san diego at 67 and sunshine, john. look at that. coming up at 6 30 one of hollywoods most familiar faces rescues a dog from a shelter in ohio. well tell you the story behind nate the terrier. but first a republican candidates have some work to do ahead of tonights debate. what iowa voters are saying about donald trump whose not taking part. we have all of the details right now at 6 30 welcome back everyone. were going to start with our weather, cold start again. yeah. things are warming up. holly, were going to see double the temperature right now pretty soon. right snow today and by the weekend well be practically flipflops and shorts and sweatshirts is what we do here. were famous for it i feel like in north east ohio. were tracking a clipper system for today though if youre just waking up and tuning in that is what you need to know as youre getting ready and getting the kids out to the bus stop. the clipper itself isnt going to move through until later today so a wed could see a few flurries or light snow showers this afternoon we might see a few peaks of sunshine. well be mid to upper 30s for highs as we take a look at radar the clipper is over here, ahead of it weve got snow trying to make it to the surface not having much luck. so the clipper tracks our way timing wise its going to be like four, 5 00 we really see the snow moving in and although radar looks like its all lit up with snow showers flying, pretty much all reporting sites just saying overcast, much of this is not making it to the very light. lots to talk about today in your commute, dani has been keeping a great eye on the water main break on west side plus whats happening on the road. yes west 106th and madison avenue, but for those leaving the house right now and youre hitting the highways we are looking good. we dont have any accidents but we are seeing our slow traffic inner belt bridge. here is a picture at west 25th street where we arent seeing stop and go traffic so that is 10 minutes thats about normal but again, we have this closed between madison and western because of a water main break and madison between west 106th and west 10 fifth. weve been showing you these live pictures throughout the morning about the clean up and it looks like they got the water down because earlier there was a lot of water in this area, but now its just a trickle of the 16inch water main break and its icy conditions so salt ive already tweeted the detours out. john back to you. we are just 172 days away from the Republican National convention coming to cleveland but today all of the talk is about tonights Republican Debate without donald trump. right will being a no show help or hurt him in the state of iowa. tracy potts is looking into that from washington. good morning tracy. and to help us understand that john as promised ive got morning just came out the nbc poll show trump up by seven in iowa, 19 in new hampshire, 16 in South Carolina, hes reversed the lead that ted cruz had in iowa and because he had such strong numbers donald trump is taking a risk and the analysts are debating whether its a risk or turning out to be a smart move.
