Reader Reactions
Sorry, but my all-time favorite newscaster was Doug White. He just seemed like someone you would want to hang out with. No phoniness with him. Rest in peace, Doug. I can’t believe it will be 4 years next month that he is gone.
FRANK COLETTA-Never could be “betta”
PATRICE WOOD-Always knew you could.
FRANK CARPANO-The sports are numeral uno.
MARIO HILARIO-Never leaves us in limbo.
GENE VALICENTI-Top of his game nightly.
Way to go Frank Coletta. Love both you and Kelly. My morning coffee and NBC 10.
The only way to start the day.
Probably would have gotten best weather personality had it not been for the blood-letting that occurred earlier this year…
Now, that’s what I’m talking about! Go Channel 10…you guys are the best!
