What I Like About Buffalo

"I feel very fortunate to be able to continue my career here in Buffalo. Western New York is a great place to raise a family and a warm place to call home, despite the 6 feet of snow. The viewers have been so kind to me over the years. I've met so many nice people who have welcomed me like a member of their family... there is really no place like Buffalo and Channel 4."
