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"!

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
