Thinking of my eastern North Carolina friends and EVERYONE feeling the impact of Debby. Between that and the Wilson County tornado I know it's been a harsh weather week.
Multiple shelters are still open serving people following the storm.

❤️🩹 As a newer member to this evening news team, I can only imagine what our longtime viewers and colleagues who’ve known David Custer TV much longer than me and who’ve watched his evolution as a reporter and anchor must be feeling. By now you’ve read his announcement. I see you, hear you and appreciate you. Thank you, first and foremost. I would be remiss to not acknowledge David’s impact within our community, our newsroom and the journalism industry as a whole. He is one of the greatest and a homegrown talent!
My only real issue with him is the fact that he doesn’t like hot drinks. How is this normal😹?
David is someone mid-Michigan and beyond knows as an award-winning journalist many times over. The work you see speaks for itself, but it is the intangibles he brings to the table that are an irreplaceable, invaluable and needed asset to our newsroom and community. He leads with a deep sense of humanity, ethics and care for the people around him while often under a bright spotlight that sometimes makes him susceptible to criticism. It’s something Meg, Chris and I understand working beside him each night, but I don’t think everyone does. It is, unfortunately, too easy to dismiss in a climate of frailty blanketing the news industry when it should be celebrated and embraced.
David has been a leader who has only welcomed and uplifted me since I started at WNEMTV5news.
I’m going to miss sitting next to him, the lighter moments, philosophical chats about the industry and so much more 😪.
I look forward to his next amazing chapter🥳. Thank you for your great taste in music, your love of orbit gum (because I can always steal a piece), giving me all of your free makeup brushes (and makeup removers when I run out), handwritten notes, being my personal pharmacist when sick, decades of service to this industry and your loyalty to TV5. God bless you, Dan and the whole fam.
That Saginaw Spirit plate sure looks good added to the Memorial Cup 🔥
Forever.
I just wanted you to know there are 60 days until the end of summer. Make the most of it.

🎥Getting to know Herb Carnegie and Buck O’Neil through the Beyond Their Years film was riveting. It’s an incredible story of two, some might say obscure, athletes who never met, yet shared a painfully paralleled experience in their respective sports. Bryant McBride produced the film showing their determination to overcome racism and make their mark on the sports they love so much. I talked to Bryant, youth hockey and community advocate Rico Phillips and Herb’s grandson, Rane Carnegie, for their perspectives. Here’s a short clip.

🗣️CONGRATULATIONS on your retirement! I couldn’t be happier for one of the best guys in the business to reach retirement after 40 or so years. Michael McPherson (Mc-P) was behind the camera for so many of my stories when I first began working in Flint. One of the first times, maybe the very first, that we worked together, he decided to call Dawn Jones! I’m a new reporter/anchor in this community and was filling in for Dawn at the time who had been out. McP wanted to check on her. So that was my introduction to Dawn (funny enough), but it was truly my introduction to McP. The kind-hearted, thoughtful guy who knows everyone and loves to walk, who always takes care of us reporters in the field. I appreciate you, your work and heart! God bless, my friend! ENJOY LIFE! 📸The old throwback photo of McP and a bunch of other photographers is courtesy of Jeff Jenkins (director at TV5). One of my favorite stories we did together was of the inspirational A. Jeffrey LaValley who you hear on keys at the beginning of this video (y’all know I love an artsy story).
Great win Saginaw Spirit! Had fun checking out the atmosphere last night. The fireworks after the win were 🤌!! Saginaw Spirit WNEMTV5news
