After 11 years covering sports for WZZM-13 here in Grand Rapids, sports director Tom Clyde has decided to step away to spend time with his family.

They're back! The Fabulous Four from the Golden Era, Barry Shanley, Sam Hooks, Craig James, all joining Lee Van Ameyde for two nights in honor of WZZM 13's 50th Anniversary. Did you have a chance to watch either Monday or Tuesday night at 5:30 and 6 pm...

I was on WZZM13's website this morning and saw the coolest thing!  By now you know Grand Rapids will be laughing and everyone's blood pressure will be a little lower, come Thursday!  The opening ceremonies for Laughfest will officially begin Thursday evening, Rosa Parks Circle around 5:45...

Ch-ch-ch-anges!  A couple years ago I began guest hosting on Take Five and Company, every Wednesday morning, at 9am. When I first began with WZZM 13, Tara Kuhnlein was part of Take Five and Company.  She was always one of my favorite people at the station...

It's happening all over the country and sadly Grand Rapids is no exception.  In many years past, there were so many who donated toys for "Toys For Tots" and now those same people are on the other side. Catherine Behrendt from WZZM 13 and Take Five & Company has spearheaded Toys For Tots for years.  ...

We've all probably at least heard the name Edward R. Murrow.  I think there was even a movie about the man.   He was a well respected broadcast journalist that came to prominence during World War II .  Well, WZZM's own Tom Clyde won the regional "Excellence In Electronic Journalism" award for a piece he photographed, wrote and edited...

I have an interesting interview I did for grNow.com & WZZM13 Weekend Morning News w/ Jennifer Paascua & Aaron Ofseyer. It'll air tomorrow, Sunday morning, between 7and 8am. You know, everybody has a story!  You may think you don't, or you may think yours is not a very important one, but you do, and it is.   ...

Cue the applause!  Some city leaders were recently given between a 4% and 5% pay raise but they are now doing their part to help the city of Grand Rapids.  City Manager, Greg Sundstrum, said on WZZM13 tonight, "This doesn't solve the city's financial problems but it sets the tone for this organization and this community that we all need to have a  shared sacrifice to move forward...

As usual I will be on Take Five and Company, Wednesday morning, at 9am, for my weekly guest chat segment with Catherine Behrendt and Stephanie Webb.  BUT, this week, I will also be preparing my "Favorite Holiday Recipe".  All I can tell you is that is is decadent, delicious and definitely NOT low cal...

The Jaycees did it right again this year!  30,000 people showed up for the Santa Parade.  Andy Rent and I were riding on the back end of a beautiful black cadillac courtesy of Car City!  Fun Day!  Enjoy some pics from the parade by clicking on the link below...
