SNN LOCAL News 6 — it’s back, baby — beginning on Thursday, February 26 at 5 p.m.!!

Just got off the phone with Linda DesMarais, General Manager for the station formerly known as SNN6.

And guess what? SNN is back, baby! Formally to be known as SNN LOCAL News 6, the station will resume broadcasting at 5 p.m., on Thursday, February 26th. (more…)

Sarasota’s SNN 6 … back from the grave?

Looks like all those obits about SNN 6 may have run a tad too early. (more…)

Single Sarasota Girl

Nope, I’m not putting out a personal ad … at least not yet! But what I am doing is spreading the word about a unique entertainer … and entertainment troupe … right here in SRQ! (more…)

A few of my favorite things …

I’m still feeling the love from VDay (more…)

SNN 6 … maintaining the status quo

So, first, thanks for the several inquiries about any new news on SNN. It lets me know that many of you are still very hyped on seeing our fave local news television channel back on the air. As am I.

Second, about my report on the comment made by the husband of DesMarais that there was “misinformation” on my site about SNN — apparently, there isn’t any at all. Misinformation, that is. On the contrary, it would seem that I’ve got the story — what little there is of it — quite right, in fact. (more…)

Manicures, money, and moving on …

Yesterday, I used a gift card I’d been given for a local salon, to have a manicure. I rarely get a professional manicure; just never enough dollars in the budget and even if there were I’d probably rather buy bird food than have my nails done. (Not much of a girlie girl, huh?!)

But, I was going up for the big shoe in Tampa today and figured a mani might calm my jitters and be a good way to spend my $25 card.

The woman who did my nails, let’s call her Cindy. In her fifties, talkative, nice enough. As she filed and buffed and trimmed my raggedy nails into something approximating presentable, she told me her story. (more…)

Everything but the girl …

I was in Paris the first time I heard everything but the girl … Killer songs about love, separation, Bob Dylan. How could you not love this quirky two-man (well, one girl) Brit band? Then, I moved to Boston, took a swing through Phoenix, back to Beantown, and ended up in Florida … where, guess what? I encountered a store called — yep, Everything But the Girl. (more…)

Will Sarasota’s SNN 6 be back on the airwaves?

Will Sarasota’s SNN 6 be back on the airwaves soon? Would be a sweet Valentine’s Day present if it is.

I just got off the phone with Linda DesMarais, erstwhile General Manager for the station and while she wouldn’t confirm the stories I’ve been hearing last night and this morning (that the station is looking good for a comeback very soon), she did give me a generous amount of time in talking about the station and its future. (more…)

At least I know you’re reading …

Jiminy Cricket. Enough with the emails. Okay — a phoenix is a mythological bird. Essentially a bird that rises from the ashes after, typically, being thought dead as a doornail.

I’m NOT suggesting SNN 6 is moving to Phoenix! Sheesh!

Will SNN 6 pull a Phoenix move?

Hearing rumblings last night and today that SNN 6 may not be down for the count after all. Sure all the employees were officially terminated and sure people around town have been saying SNN was done for. But there might be life yet in this local favorite — meaning SNN 6.

I put in a call to Linda DesMarais (hoping for a return call — more on that below) and fingers crossed, the rumblings are all true! (more…)
