10 Year Interview

Being interviewed by my colleague Bill Carey

YNN Syracuse is celebrating 10 years on the air this November. Myself and Rich Isome were the first faces to welcome upstate viewers to the world of 24 hour news- then called News 10 Now. It's hard to believe I've been on the air in one market for that long. It's an honor. Before coming to YNN I spent my years bouncing from station to station gaining the valuable skills to prepare myself for my dream job as Main Anchor of a station. When I got the call that they wanted me to be one for YNN- I was thrilled and knew it was an important job they were trusting me with. 10 years later we have told many important stories and been there with viewers through times of hardships (the American Civic Association mass shooting) and times of joy (The Great New York State Fair).

In preparation for our 10 year anniversary in November my Colleague Sr. Reporter Bill Carey is travelling the state collecting interviews from some of us "originals". It's nerve wrecking being an interviewee--- when you are used to being the interviewer. Yes- control freak alert... but I have to say Bill and I have a great rapport so I felt comfortable and in good hands. He is the definition of PRO.

Bill asked me about my memories of the start of the station, some good times and bad times and the stories that left an impression on me. I look forward to seeing the end product and hope to be able to share it with you. We've all grown and changed so much in the 10 years we've been on the air and so has the station. Some aspects have remained the same- we still love to tell the stories important to you and we are honored each an every day to be welcomed into your home. So here's to many more years!
