Press: Metroland's Best Morning TV News

The Capital Region's Alternative Newsweekly Metroland is out with it's "2013 Best of the Capital Region" list and our morning show is among the honorees! I literally blurted out "WHAT!?!" when I saw this:

It is such an honor to have our show recognized. In fact, this is the first time we have been recognized- that I can think of!

The world of 24 hour news is a never ending world. We don't just do a few shows a day and come back the next day and start all over. It's our goal to continually try and find new details and update the viewer. I think we really shine when it comes to extended live breaking news coverage. In fact, that's my favorite as an anchor as it is the most challenging but most rewarding because I know we are providing an important service to our viewers.

I just wanted to drop a note to thank Metroland for the recognition and let them know it truly made my, and my colleague's day!

Rising Star

One of my colleagues, Maureen McManus was recently recognized as one of City & State's 2013 Albany Rising Stars. City & State is an online publication dedicated to all things politics in New York State. I was so excited to learn Maureen was recognized because she is such a wonderful person to work with. She used to work the wee hours of the morning with us here at YNN before she was tapped to move to nights and become a producer for our political show Capital Tonight.

Maureen can always be seen offering a pleasant smile that radiate up to her pretty ice blue eyes. She has a wonderful wit and she's smart to boot! Oh and if that's not enough... she is the 2013 Queen of our Argyle Day! Yes- we all have this secret day where we all wear Argyle on the air and off-- and one person earns the crown for the year (She rocked it out with sweater AND matching socks! That's dedication.)
