Rochester, NY's WROC (RF45) gave me something to Talk about when the awesome Margaret Cho appeared on the daily gabfest!
My jaw dropped as Fetch With Ruff Ruffman appeared with a rather bawdy statement on Rochester's WXXI (RF16.) Somewhere out there Beavis & Butthead are chuckling...
I was happy to see my city (Markham) pop up over Rich Caniglia's shoulder on Rochester's WHEC (RF10.)
There was a great montage of moments from 13 WHAM's past (even dating back to the WOKR days) as the Rochester station celebrated its 50th anniversary!
August 7, 2012
I almost did a handstand when Utica, NY's WKTV (RF29) had Jenel Boston summing up the day ahead, Don Shipman talking Olympics and Jill Reale tracking (and fielding) the weather!
Cleveland, OH's WEWS (RF15) also came in with a story about Elton John bashing Madonna. Sigh...I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That, Elton!
Anchors Mike Dunston and Macie Jepson agreed the sniping wasn't in Vogue, but were glad the two icons were Still Standing after their tiff.
This reporter's bright smile made it a Good Morning in Cleveland and beyond during the morning show on WEWS!
Sunny Hostin rocks my socks! I've loved her work on ABC's World News Now and was glad to see her talking about America's Money on WEWS!
I caught some of WICU's morning news being simulcast on Erie, PA's WBEP (RF16-2) with Jay Patel being interviewed and Kara Coleman delivering the morning forecast!
Oh Canada, indeed! Francois Imbeau-Dulac gave me reason to cheer for my home and native land during CTV's Olympic coverage on Kitchener, ON's CKCO (RF13.)
Syracuse, NY's WSTM and Erie, PA's WJET (both on RF24) were having a battle royale that morning. Depending on which direction I aimed my antenna, I was getting both stations off and on! WSTM's Lisa Spitz and Brandon Roth faced off against WJET's Traci Teudhope and Tom DiVecchio!
Ed Russo and Eva Mastromatteo made a dynamic duo anchoring on Erie, PA's WSEE (RF12-3)!
I was flabbergasted when Rochester, NY's WHAM (RF13) did a story about a mural that featured bears in a rather compromising position. (It really didn't help that the temperature on screen was listed as 69...)
I also never expected to see Adam Chodak display such a huge grin with two bears having fun behind him!
Rochester, NY's WHEC (RF10) showed a promo that captured the sparkly fabulousness of the US gymnastics team! The "Fierce Five" certainly look like a sassy girl group with Gabby Douglas as their leader!
I almost did a backflip myself when I caught this Olympic themed station ID for Utica, NY's WKTV (RF29.)
The Olympics were the perfect time for WKTV's Bill Worden to remind viewers they should get hopped up on gym mats rather than bath salts!
Erie, PA's WICU (RF12) made a brief appearance with Rob Wilson, Emily Matson and Kevin MacDowell delivering the evening news! There was also a nice bumper for the weather segment!
August 8, 2012
The awesome team of Maureen McGuire and Matt Molloy appeared to be having some mischievous fun on Rochester, NY's WROC (RF45.)
Things were also sizzling with Scott Hetsko during one of his Backyard BBQ segments!
I caught some of CFPL's newscast with Tara Overholt and Julie Atchison via Wingham, ON's CKNX (RF8) which is an analog repeater for London's CTV2 station!
August 13, 2012
Erie, PA's WQLN (RF50) had a nice promo for Erie Gives Day!
August 14, 2012
I often give Batavia, NY's WPXJ (RF23) a lot of Flack for their flimsy local branding, but today Roberta was Killing Me Softly with a wonderful station ID during her interview!
August 16, 2012
Although Scott Hetsko was Hung Up on the idea of dancing along with a video of a guy Voguing, Matt Molloy convinced him not to be so Frozen! These are the moments I Cherish on Rochester, NY's WROC (RF45.)
August 20, 2012
I usually hate it when car dealers Ram their ads down your throat, but Donovan and Bauer won me over with their chatty animal on Erie, PA's WJET (RF24)! Check out their Facebook page for more amazing ads!
WJET's promo for the Lake Erie Speedway featured a spokesperson that got me all revved up!
Rochester's WHEC (RF10) made an appearance with the FAB Rebecca Leclair, Nikki Rudd and Rich Caniglia!
Maureen McGuire couldn't resist drilling it into viewers' heads that the newscasts on WUHF and WROC would be going HD in September!
August 22, 2012
John DiPasquale's awesomely literal demonstration of the climbing temperatures on WROC helps me end this Reception Report on a high note!
Stay tuned to TV Garth for even more TV mayhem from August 2012 coming soon!
