I recognized one of the anchors of my local (Albany, NY) CBS affiliate - not that I didn't already know. Ages ago when I was first on DU I promised another DUer that I would never watch that news broadcast because that particular anchor was rotten to her brother. Her brother's band had been hired to play at some local festivities, but this news anchor shut them down because she planned to be broadcasting nearby.

I feel bad since when I was a little kid that was my favorite station. We lived up north on the side of a mountain back in those days and, believe it or not, we only got one station because the others were blocked by the mountain. And they had some memorable kids' shows. *sigh*
