'I love me, finally': Hollie Strano shares her recovery story, offers hope to others
Why was Hollie Strano fired from WKYC?
Strano was arrested and charged in November 2023 with one count of operating a vehicle under the influence by Cuyahoga Falls police after her vehicle crashed near Towpath Tennis Center on Akron-Peninsula Road, hitting a fire hydrant. She reportedly had a blood alcohol level of 0.244%, more than three times the legal limit of 0.08%. She later pleaded guilty to the charge.
Following Strano's dismissal, she sued her former company, claiming she was terminated for sharing her story on social media regarding her treatment for alcoholism and for promoting a product on her social media pages, although she said she received nothing of value from the brand for making the post.
Strano currently hosts the "Abruptly Authentic with Hollie Strano" podcast which streams on Youtube.

What's the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke? How to know when to call 911
Triple-digit "feels-like" temperatures across South Florida triggered the first heat advisory of the season on Friday. The National Weather Service issued the advisory because the heat index was 105 for at least two hours. While it has felt hot for weeks, the heat index has not met the threshold, unlike last year when there were more than a dozen by mid-July. The excessive"feels-like" heat can threaten heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Heat exhaustion symptoms include fainting or dizziness, excessive sweating, cool, pale, or clammy skin, a rapid, weak pulse, and muscle cramps. If you're experiencing these symptoms, you need to move into air conditioning, drink water, take a cool shower, or apply a cold compress. Heat stroke is much more serious and requires calling 911. If you're suffering a heat stroke, you'll experience a throbbing headache, you'll stop sweating, your skin will be red hot and dry, your pulse will be rapid, and you may lose consciousness. Emergency officials remind you to stay hydrated, limit your outdoor afternoon activities, and wear light-color, light-weight clothing. While we may not see another heat advisory this weekend, the real temperatures and heat index will be excessive.
