You go there with school, right? Yeah.
6:55
Yes, yes, and we've covered some of the holiday, the Christmas events there, winter events, and things like that.
7:00
But I did think, "Oh, this could be a great partnership," right? A fort is a little spooky, and then you put it with Halloween, and...
7:07
But I wasn't sure what we were going to get to, get...
7:09
When we got there, and I will say the, the director of the museum did say to us, "In the beginning you may think, oh, this is boring.
7:15
What is this?" And he was right.
8:59
... a little cleaner." I, I didn't know what I would see.
3:21
And here
3:22
So you sent me on my wild goose chase.
3:24
I think I invested probably three days in this, which I'm not sure what kind of times you think that was good use of my time.
3:32
But we got to get to the bottom of this.
3:34
I had to.
3:35
I was so determined to figure this out.

10:01
You're not the only one in the region that I'm not the only one in the region.
2:07
Why is it important to cover something like this to the extent that we are covering it?
2:12
And I think that is a good question because, of course, there have been the critics who have said you're giving too much attention to Costco.
2:18
And First of all, what is too much? I don't know.
2:20
And I agree it does.
2:22
We are giving a lot of attention to Costco, but our job is to cover the news and cover what people care about.
2:28
So do we give too much attention to the Belmont when that's here? Or are we giving too much attention to something else when that's going on? No, because that is what people care about at the moment.
2:38
And the hard numbers show us that people care.

8:47
Yeah, a lot of
1:27
What's going on?
1:28
So Channel 10 has Upstate Living and Channel 13 has Capital Region Lifestyle.
1:34
They say the shows are very different, but I've watched them both.
1:37
They are similar in the very best way.
1:39
They're really celebrating the Capital Region, all the great things the Capital Region has to offer, whether that's the people in the Capital Region, the places, the things to do, the events on the weekend, that kind of thing.
1:50
So WMIT's primary anchors, they have Chris Onorato and Caitlin Erla, who do the morning news as well.
1:56
And they also have support team as well.
