Posted: December 13, 2012 - 7:58am
Beginning on Sunday, December 13, 2012, the business hours of Operation 100 News will change.
My new hours will be from 12 a.m. (midnight) until 5 a.m., seven days a week.
The change in hours comes at the request of one media contract who is seeking to fill a gap in their overnight news coverage. I am hopeful that these hours will attract additional media inquiries for overnight and/or weekend morning coverage.
More and more media outlets are being forced to make budget cuts. Operation 100 News is here to help you remain within your budget constraints while remaining on top of breaking news. Additional information for interested media outlets can be found here. Rates are very affordable and flexible based on your specific needs.
As many of my longtime followers know, Operation 100 News is the work of one person with privately purchased equipment. Without media contracts and occasional donations from the public, I would not be able to provide real-time updates to the public at no cost, as I have done on Twitter since July 2009.
I continue to explore the option of making Operation 100 News a paid-subscription based service. This option would allow me to turn a profit, instead of just barely breaking even. While not popular with most current followers, I have to make a living for myself. Any changes to a paid service would be in the future, at least a year away.
Thank you for your continued support of Operation 100 News.

STOP SOPA
Posted: January 18, 2012 - 3:25am
Updated: January 18, 2012 - 6:27am
Broadly worded bills such as the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) could very easily result in the end of Operation 100 News and anything else on the internet that could be considered "controversial." This could also mean the end of websites that are full of user generated content, including Twitter and Facebook.
Please read a few of the links provided below for additional information, do some research on the potential implications of such legislation. Contact your Representatives in Congress and let your voice be heard. Protect the freedom of the Internet.

Today, Overland Park Fire Department Investigators have released the cause of this fire is believed to have been related to an electrical issue in the duplex's attic.
Original Story:
Video provided by the Overland Park Fire Department.
Upon arrival at the scene, fire crews reported smoke showing from a two story duplex. Firefighters were able to rescue the young female from the second floor. She was found to be in extremely critical condition with second degree burns to all of her body. She was transported to an area hospital where a short time later she passed away.
Overland Park Fire says four others, including two boys and another girl, were able to escape from the residence prior to the arrival of fire crews. The fire was quickly extinguished with the structure only sustaining minimal damage. One other child received treatment at the scene for smoke inhalation. No other injuries were reported.
Preliminary reports indicate that there was a smoke detector in the duplex but, the battery had been removed after the unit began chirping to indicate a low battery level, about a week ago.
Monday morning investigators say it appears the fire originated in the bedroom where the child was found by firefighters. The child has been identified as 8-year-old, Taylor Jackson, who was at the duplex spending the night with a friend. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Investigators remind the public that October is Fire Prevention Month.

Latest information on overnight fatality accident on I-35
This morning the Kansas Highway Patrol has released a preliminary accident report regarding the accident on southbound Interstate 35 in Merriam. The accident forced the closure of all southbound lanes of the interstate from just before 12:30 a.m. until 6:10 a.m.
According to the accident report, the motorcycle a 2000 Honda CBR was being driven by 32-year-old, Steven Douglas Trout of Merriam. Trout was not wearing a helmet and while entering southbound I-35 from Shawnee Mission Parkway he lost control of the bike and "became separated" from the motorcycle.
A semi-tractor trailer then struck the motorcycle. At this point a 2004 Ford Mustang struck a second semi-tractor trailer as the Mustang's driver was moving to avoid striking the motorcyclist on the highway. The drivers of both semi-tractor trailers and both the driver and passenger of the Mustang were wearing their seat belts and were not injured in the accident.
Operation 100 News was contacted by a witness to the aftermath, who advised me that one of the semi-tractor trailer's drivers "looks to be extremely upset."
A Merriam Police Officer located the accident and immediately requested more units to respond to assist and shut down all traffic on southbound I-35 at Shawnee Mission Parkway. A Johnson County Med-Act ambulance traveling down the highway stopped to assist the Police Department and evaluated the victim who was confirmed to be deceased at the scene.
Initial reports indicated that the victim was underneath one of the semi-tractor trailers.
KDOT crews responded to the scene and assisted with blocking the southbound lanes of the interstate. All southbound traffic was redirected on to Shawnee Mission Parkway during the closure.
All southbound lanes were reopened to traffic at 6:10 a.m.

History:
Believe it or not, Operation 100 News is the work of only one person. It all started with one 100 channel analog scanner back in 1996. At that time I only monitored Law Enforcement in Johnson County, along with Fire Departments and Med-Act of Johnson County. Today, Operation 100 News has six scanners, four of which are capable of monitoring Digital P25 Radio Systems, an outdoor, roof mounted antenna, and two dedicated computers. I have been tracking Johnson County since 1996 and Douglas County since 2002.
Operation 100 News has been around since 2003 as a dream of immediate public notification of unfolding emergency situations in your neighborhood, letting you know what is happening nearby to keep you and your family aware and safe.
I currently monitor Police, Sheriff, Fire and Medical county-wide for Douglas and Johnson County.
Operation 100 News is a 100% free service to the General Public, with more than 50 hours dedicated to its operation each week by one person and funding is extremely tight. Currently funded by personal funds, occasional public donations and news media contracts.
At first Operation 100 News called and notified other news media's news desks to unfolding situations and responded to incident scenes. After several failed attempts at cooperation with KC area media, this changed to a by contract only service for local media. Previous efforts were mainly one-sided with KC media outlets taking whatever information I could offer them, very few realizing the potential of what Operation 100 News could provide. Several news outlets within my coverage area have since contracted with me. Those outlets receive a phone call to their contact person when news breaks that they have contracted me to notify them of.
Weather Information:

General Public Follow Request information LINK
Mike Frizzell - Muck Rack profile with links to examples of my work.
Operation 100 News is provided as a free service to the general public. Information is not to be shared with any commercial news media unless they are under contract with Operation 100 News.
Operation 100 News reserves the right to block anyone in violation of this policy without explanation or warning.
Rates are affordable, flexible and vary depending on your needs. Rates begin as low as $5 per hour with stringer rates also available. Contact Mike at Operation100news@gmail.com with any questions, comments, or rate inquiries.
Operation 100 News is available to be contracted by News Media Outlets and businesses. I can notify your news desk or on-call contact person when there is news breaking that you want to know about. Notifications can be made by telephone, text message, or email. Please contact Mike at the email address provided on this page and be sure to include specifics as to what you are looking for from my service.
I specialize in covering Douglas and Johnson counties. Time after time, I have covered and broke the breaking news stories that the rest of the local media has missed out on for hours. Covering only two counties allows me to pay more attention to the activity that may start small but then quickly and quietly escalate to something much more severe. I have reported Police Department confirmed "suspicious death investigations" hours before anyone else, along with deadly accidents, shootings, house fires, and many more examples listed below on this page.
While most are listening to the same crime night after night in Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas City, Kansas, I am covering the areas that are within the Kansas City news market which has repeatedly been neglected from receiving real-time breaking news coverage.
The others will tell you they are the place to turn to when news breaks in Douglas or Johnson County. Operation 100 News is the only place that consistently proves we are the only ones on top of breaking news in this area.
History of Operation 100 News:
I have lived in Johnson County since 1985, monitored Police Departments, Sheriff's Office, Fire Departments, and Med-Act activity countywide since 1996. I have monitored countywide events in Douglas County since 2002.
I personally used to call various KC television news outlets' news desks and provide them with details from my sources or from my being on the scene. This was almost always a one-sided arrangement. Very few realized the potential assistance that Operation 100 News could provide. These arrangements ceased in May 2010 but, are still available by contract only.
Don't get left behind again. Contact Mike at Operation100news@gmail.com for more details or with any questions.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
