This 3rd installment in the series takes us to the crazy days in Miami, from the mid-1980s to the early '90s!
I was hired as the part-time Weekend Weatherman, my third job in television, on the condition that if I worked every weekend for a full year, I would be hired full-time at that Independent WCIX Channel 6, that at the time was a steadfast but signal-challenged station. I was still working Monday through Friday as a Weatherman & Reporter at Palmer Cablevision's NewsWatch9 in Naples, FL (check Season 1 Episode 2 for THAT story!), but I was in my 20s and thought it would be doable! Seven days a week wouldn't last forever...or would it?
In this episode, we'll explore the twists of fate, the challenges, the hopes --often dashed-- the dreams, the back-stories, the fun, the music, the changing faces, management, the hurricane threat, the work-arounds, all during the "Cocaine Cowboy" days in the Magic City Miami!
Join me along with Producer Jeff Lemlich, Reporter Mark Tudino, and Director Pete McCoy, as we give insight and reminisce "Up & Down The Broadcast Trail"!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
