The Arena also had room for Katherine Amenta that morning!

- Pittsburgh, PA, 4.1 WTAE (RF51)...I almost thought Andrew Stockey was exclaiming "Social media rules!" but the story was really about etiquette.

- Detroit, MI, 20.1 WMYD (RF21)...My own "shocking confession" is that Detroit stations didn't seem to come in very much during 2013!
Oct. 11, 2013:
- Cleveland, OH, 5.1 WEWS (RF15)...Hamilton, ON's CHCH was moving to the same frequency as WEWS (seen below with Mike Dunston and Elisa Malinovitz), so I aimed to soak up whatever reception I could before the switch!
Elisa Malinovitz was definitely on my radar that morning!
Jackie Zabielski really drove the show forward with her traffic reports!
I've been intoxicated by Josh Boose since his days at Buffalo's WGRZ, but I perked up even more when I found his Out Magazine profile from 2004!
