as expected, the national media are starting to pick up on the story of rare triplets born in rockford this week.
on the web, fox gives credit to wrex-13, which broke the story before the babies were born, and rrstar.com. we also have wrex’s pre-birth video of kalie and josh kuhl’s effort to save their boys, who have the rare twin to twin to twin transfusion syndrome.
we’ll be covering the 10 a.m. news conference later today.

OK. I am just going to use a cliche. When it rains, it pours. That is, when news happens, it really happens. I am officially calling today breaking news Thursday. It’s not even 1 p.m. yet and here are the major stories we’re working on today:
- Alan Beaman’s 1993 murder conviction reversed by Illinois Supreme Court today.
- Triplets with rare disease born at Rockford Memorial Hospital.
- Gas tops $4/gallon in Rockford.
Typically, right before Memorial Day, we struggle to fill our Web sites and our newspapers with newsy news. Not today or tomorrow. And the day certainly isn’t over yet.
