I have free, or antenna TV up here in gladwin. Thanks to tropospheric ducting, I got fox 2 the nine in for an hour today. I think it’s a good mix of information, as opposed to regular news. Good morning from prudewinkle detroit!
Deena & the other ladies are a class act! Watch then every morning! Missing Jessica Starr ~ hope she is back soon
Wow. Seems to be some real haters commenting on here. Deena and the ladies at Fox2 don’t dress like s**ts or unladylike by any means. They are all beautiful, respectable women and you should be ashamed of yourselves for even spouting such venom. Have a good night.
I I have been in love with Denali for, I too watch fox for her.beautiful women, lucky Keith.
I agree. Deena dresses very classy for her age. She can be stylish, can wear what she does because she takes care of herself! I am 65 and love her wardrobe! I also take care of me so I can purchase and wear items in style.
Deena, I love your black dress today. Love the sleeve length and length of the dress. Where did you get it??? There are so many websites to shop on, I will never find it!
Keep that happy smile of yours, (I am also a 5:15 A. M. viewer! ). Live you all
I watch Fox 2 just because of Deena. She is very good looking for her age!
Deena DOES NOT dress like a s**t! In my opinion, she’s classy NOT trashy. Love FOX 2, every morning @5 am we’re up n tunned in. Thank You for being there for us. With lots of hugs from your Pontiac, MI viewers
Deena
Because of your British “connection” and accent you use on The Nine
you should start a tea company.
You could use the Olde English D as your logo on each tea bag. It would stand for Deena and Detroit.
You will get an invite to the Royal wedding this month for sure.
Then you send them a few boxes of your tea for the wedding present.
When they open gifts Meghan would ask “What did Deena send?”
Harry would reply———
“Deena sent a font tea!”
Love Deena. Hottest woman around. Great smile. Very professional. I think she does a great job. Honestly the reason I watched fox 2 for years.
It’s Deena & Amy every morning for me. Best morning show in Windsor/Detroit.
Oh my gosh I love Deena Centofanti and the Gang on the Nine. I can’t believe the petty immature comments I’m reading. These people are very real life, they talk about real things they’re not full of politics or any other inappropriate conversation. I leave them on all morning While working around the house. I used to watch The View but it’s so political and phony and just plain obnoxious. The nine is so much more ” everyday people”. And Deena you are a gem. Unbelievable to me what people will find a criticize.look in the mirror
Hey Deena,
Is there anyone on your Fox 2 show that is not a vegetarian!
Or is she not on a special diet every WEEK!!!
It’s exasperating with everyone’s diet or vegetarian meals…Please everyone get a life! You are so full of yourselves!
WHERE’S THE BEEF, Channel 2
YUCK!
Deena…You are a beautiful woman. Please get a new hairstyle. Your current one takes a lot from your looks. Try putting it up one day and see the differencce…

I have had many health challenges. My doctors at Henry Hospital have encourage me to write and tell off my journey as a Type II Diabetic. I just recently completed my book entitled The Nerve of Diabetes, my journey as told by a woman of faith” my book is now on Amazon. I am currently working with XLIBIX publishing in marketing and promoting my book. I am writing you to share with you my journey. The other morning you had a guess doctor in your segment who spoke about life-style and he mentioned Bariatric Surgery. I had the surgery and now I no longer take insulin, my A1C has been lowered and I am healthier than I have been in thirty years. My doctor has changed many of my medications. I am enjoying my new least on life. Please ready my book and take my journey with me. Be Blessed
