MARTINA TUATY
By Alan Pergament While researching a story about how about how many Syracuse University graduates are on the air in Buffalo television, I read all the biographies of the anchors and reporters in town. I was surprised by how many interesting things I learned and by some of the favorite things they were willing to share. Many of the TV people talked about the cats or dogs they own or their enjoyment of cooking, food and music and what they do in their spare time. I was shocked that any of them have any spare time working in television news. Let’s look at some things that I found amusing in biographies that some anchors and reporters took more seriously than others in describing their interests in their own words: WGRZ-TV (Channel 2) In her bio, we're told we might find morning anchor Melissa Holmes, her husband, Buffalo News sports reporter Jay Skurski, and their son trying new restaurants (since Melissa can't cook), enjoying Buffalo's many festivals, and attending dozens of charitable events each year.” People are also reading… What, my colleague Jay can't step up and cook?
