Rochester, NY's WROC (RF45) had Michael Chiklis bringing an explosive appearance to the 4th of July festivities on CBS. I heart the blatant promo for his new show Vegas just coincidentally popping up on screen with him!
Glee's Amber Riley TORE the roof off with her powerhouse vocals during the PBS 4th of July ceremonies, seen on Rochester, NY's WXXI (RF16.)
WSTM (RF24) featured meteorologist Wayne Mahar promoting the Syracuse Festival!
July 6, 2012
I really enjoy the early 4am news on Hamilton, ON's CHCH (RF11) with the Divalicious Jaclyn Colville motoring through with traffic and weather reports!
In the evening, things went crazy with waves of Ohio and Pennsylvania reception! Cleveland, OH's WKYC (RF17) had a story about one Ohio family feeling sour about their dillema with the extreme heat! Kris Pickel and Jennifer Lindgren were on hand to discuss how they cooled down!
I thunderclapped with joy over the awesome WKYC weather ID that popped up on screen!
WKYC's meteorologist Betsy doesn't Kling to the same old weather models used by other stations!
Cleveland, OH's WUAB (RF28) 30 Rocked my world that night! My expression mirrored Jack McBrayer's as Ohio stations kept floating in!
WUAB's new subchannel also Bounced in with the late great Donna Summer in Thank God It's Friday!
Cleveland's Univision affiliate WQHS (RF34) was looking muy Delicioso with Ingrid Hoffman!
Everybody Loves Raymond, indeed, especially when he pops up on Akron, OH's WBNX (RF30.)
Back over on WKYC (RF17) Dave Chudowsky was up at bat with his sports roundup! I was very happy to catch their newscast!
New Channel Alert - I was surprised to see Akron, OH's TBN outlet WDLI (RF49) leapfrog over Buffalo, NY's WNYO for the first time! It was also exciting to see that TBN is now trying to appeal to gay audiences!
Cleveland, OH's WEWS (RF15) appeared with Mark Johnson, Danita Harris, Chris Flanagan and Andy Baskin closing out the 11pm newscast!
There was a great Good Morning Cleveland promo on WEWS with Mike Dunston, Christine Ferreira and Macie Jepson. I kind of love how Macie brazenly steals focus with that Divatastic hand on her hip!
Rosie Del Campo had the keys to success during her report on Kitchener, ON's CKCO (RF13.)
CKCO also featured a story on the Laurier Golden Hawks from Lee Boyadjian! (On a sidenote, she should totally launch a pasta line called "Chez Boyadjian" to compete with "Chef Boyardee!")
New Channel Alert - I was totally baffled when I saw Jimmy Kimmel pop up on RF36 until I realized that Youngstown, OH's WYTV was blasting through Hamilton, ON's CITS for the first time!
WYTV also offers "My Valley Weather" on one of their subchannels!
WYTV has MyTV programming on their 33-2 subchannel ("My YTV") and I stumbled across this amazing promo for WYTV's Daybreak! A woman walks by and tells Jim Loboy and Len Rome, "Looks like you guys have some great chemistry going on..." LOVED it! (Check out more of their ads here!)
My YTV featured another news promo with Stan Boney, who doesn't rib viewers about the serious issues!
I caught a great shot of the WYTV logo via their My YTV subchannel! They believe in this valley, and so do I! (At least when I get reception from it!)
Akron, OH's WEAO (RF50) also showed up for a bit! PBS viewers were likely scandalized upon seeing an ordinary dressing room turned into a sex den on WEAO's Spanish language V-Me subchannel. Muy caliente, for sure!
London, ON's CFPL (RF10) featured a local ID (CTVLondon.ca) which is pretty rare on Canadian stations! Their contest was sponsored by Porky's, who may or may not have also sponsored that PBS sex movie above!
Hamilton, ON's CHCH (RF11) also offered up a deliciously unique ID from the Laura Secord House in Queenston Heights!
Alliance, OH's WNEO (RF45) had me swooning when sexy Osvaldo Friger hosted Nota Musical on the V-Me subchannel!
My eyes popped out when Pittsburgh, PA started to make a strong appearance. MyTV station WPMY was blasting in on RF42!
Andy Samberg was appearing in a comedy sketch on Jimmy Fallon, but the signal strength from Pittsburgh, PA's WPXI (RF48) was certainly no joke!
The State of Ohio is sometimes an uneasy Alliance between opposing sides, as seen on WNEO (RF45.) But folks like Mike give us a Sliva of the various situations important to residents!
New Channel Alert - I was shocked to see Pittsburgh, PA's WPGH (RF43) sneak past Buffalo, NY's WNED for only a few seconds! It's pretty tough to knock out Buffalo channels in my neck of the woods!
Johnstown, PA's WJAC (RF34) drove past my house late at night with an ad for Stocker Chevrolet. I love that Gene Stocker is billed as the "Owner & Great, Great Guy." With a name like Stocker, it makes sense to remind people you aren't going to hide in their bushes to close the deal!
WJAC also brought this amazing ad for Our Coal Miners Cafe, which encourages viewers to come for a meal and stay for the rubdown! Seriously, "Steele's Therapeutic Massage" sounds like the title of a saucy romance novel. I can imagine it: She let love slip through her fingers one too many times, until one man's healing hands brought the touch she had desperately longed for..."Steele's Therapeutic Massage" now in finer drugstores!
Old school clip art exploded all over the screen on WJAC during this wonderful ad promoting the virtues of dairy. Check out the animated guy doing jazz hands among music notes and the awesome slogan "Milk - It keeps your body in tune!"
I was Fortuneate to catch this ad for a Wheely exciting contest on Pittsburgh, PA's WPXI (RF48.)
Folks in Pittsburgh always look up to Tall Cathy and DJ Scottro on Kiss 96.1 for an entertaining time! (Seen via WPMY, RF42.)
My reception of Pittsburgh felt like a gift, so it was appropriate that WPMY (RF42) made Christmas In July a reality with a festive repeat of Wendy Williams.
WPXI (RF48) featured a great station ID under the intro to Mad Money where Jim Cramer appears to be shooting that poor woman with laser beams!
I'm convinced this is what the Olympics would look like if they were turned into a musical by Green Day. Seriously, the guy on the right even looks kinda like Billie Joe Armstrong! (Seen via Pittsburgh, PA's WPXI, RF48.)

Speaking of Olympics, Rochester, NY's WXXI-W (RF16-2) was running the great documentary Claiming The Title: Gay Olympics On Trial about the history behind the naming of the Gay Games.

Erie, PA's WJET (RF24) flew in with a great promo featuring Chelsea Pompeani!
I got to see some of Good Morning Erie on WJET with Traci Teudhope and the awesome Jill McCormick!
Tom DiVecchio made a big splash with his Lake Erie forecast that day!
Springville, NY's WBBZ (RF7) had Andrew looking very Keene on delivering his report for First Business.
WBBZ also had me buzzing with glee upon seeing the handsome Steve Helling guest hosting The Daily Buzz!
I saw a great promo on Rochester, NY's WROC (RF45) with the awesome team of Kevin Doran and Maureen McGuire hammering home the importance of Habitat For Humanity!
Sometimes you need a little R & R in the morning! Rochester, NY's WHEC (RF10) provided that with Rebecca Leclair and Rich Caniglia anchoring in the AM!
It almost looks like Rich Caniglia was saying "Stop me if you've heard this one," just before launching into a comedy routine!
Rochester, NY's PBS outlet WXXI (RF16) has members like Kathryn who make Gallant gestures of support towards the station!
Buffalo, NY's WUTV (RF14) brought me a triple play of shirtless awesomeness during an episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia!
WUTV also aired a cute episode of According To Jim where Jim's son wants to go out for Halloween as Cinderella, which leads Jim and his friend to dress in drag as a show of support!
Like many folks in Southern Ontario, I grew up watching WUTV and listening to Kiss 98.5 on the radio. So it was neat to capture a great double ID for the two in a promo for a Darien Lake contest!
Stay tuned to TV Garth for more of the reception that was jumpin' in July!
