Whoever reads this please talk with Tricia and tell her to please NOT promote cigars like she did this morning in Kansas City. Several people in my family have died from smoking/cancer and do not want anyone to do the same. Also, Joe Burrows did not remove his hat tonight when the national anthem played. Shame on him. Please pass this along. Thank you very much.
Trisha Mackey,
I think you are the most beautiful woman in the daily broadcast. I like your hair and your eyes…you are just so beautiful!

Best local TV anchor. Great new hairdoo.
A definite asset to news presentations in the Cincinnati area. Your new haircut is definitely hot also. Good luck in the coming year.
You do a great job as professional, committed and objective journalist. Your credibility and presentation are top shelf. Our nation and media journalism need many, many more just like you at the state and national levels, but I truly hope you stay in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern KY area. Best wishes for 2021 and keep up the great work!
Can’t believe you don’t have the correct information. The senate com3s back on the 19th.girl, you are smarter than this!
Best local anchor on TV.
I always thought you were the best anchor BUT I hated your hair! It was a distraction from what you were saying.not that my opinion matters at all, but, what you have done lately is great. Not only “up to date” but you appear much younger.
