I am 66..retired NYPD…love All of Chanel 3 by far the best bunch of great people I have ever listen to.
All the ladies are so beautiful, I think Scott is a great guy…would love to meet him one day. Talked to him 2 years ago. You are all honest caring news people. Can’t say enough about you all…thank you for the news.
My father was a great guy…miss him every day…he had a saying he lived by and I do the same it’s not “what you have here it’s what you leave when you go you all will leave a good legacy for you and your children!”
I love the way you give the traffic every morning and your very sexy doing it.
