Northern Kentucky has been kicked around, ignored and under appreciated for far too long.  That is why Dennis Hetzel, Kentucky General Manager for the Enquirer is proud to introduce NKY.com. 

“And that’s pronounced Nookie Dot Com,” says Hetzel.  “Northern Kentukians, or as I like to call them Nookies, have been complaining that they feel marginalized in the news and media.  They have watched jealously as the West side received national attention for finding a legal way to say cornhole on broadcast television while not be fined by the FCC.  Well I say today is now their day!  I am proud to be a Nookie!”

Nookie Dot Com is set to focus local news from the three Kentucky counties of Boone, Campbell and Kenton.  This area has a rich history of prostitution, drugs, gambling and mafia that they can really tap into.  Jerry Springer can vouch for that!

Although NKY.com is still in the beta stage, the website is by no means dead.  They already have the obituary listings up and running!  With an exposé on the Big Bone Lick Festival, little league scores and church socials they can’t go wrong.

“We are ready to dive in deep into the exciting breaking stories like which way the shit flows,” says NKY.com reporter Patrick Crowley.

“I’m tired of all the ‘they don’t were shoes in Kentucky’ jokes," says Karen Meiman.  “I mean yeah, even their football teams don’t have cleats but that is no reason to reinforce the hillbilly stereotype.

“The treatment has been ridiculous,” says AP writer Roger Alford.  “There is no reason Kentucky should have to sit back and swallow this shit anymore.”
