FANS
Say
Hello! We have been followers of your work ever since you started producing content for television. From the "Discovering WNY" series to your latest projects. We have watched it all and thoroughly enjoyed each episode, on TV and on YouTube. We have a particular fondness for the in-depth interviews in "Discovering WNY." There's something about the human element of that series that resonates deeply with us. That series had a warmth and intimacy that added an extra layer of connection for us as viewers. You truly are a genius in the field, and we are excited to see what you'll come up with next. We found this email address on your YouTube channel and just wanted to drop by and say "hi," and of course, to share our admiration for your incredible talent. ~ Diane & Bob (Buffalo, NY)

"Hi Tony. We would like to show a few of your videos at our April membership meeting. We think they're fantastic." ~ John D. (Elma, NY)

"Hi! My name is Anne and I'm reaching out from Clarence, New York. I've had the pleasure of viewing multiple episodes of your productions and I must say, they are exceptional. The seamless flow and narrative style of your content make for an engaging viewing experience." ~ Anne (Clarence, NY)

"Hello! My name is John and I am writing from Medina. I watched an episode of your TV show this afternoon on TV. Actually by chance. Loved it. Finally somebody gives value to WNY. And  congratulations again for the amazing work. It surely takes a lot of passion. I read you did it all by yourself." ~ John W. and family (Medina, NY)

"I just cried my eyes out (happy tears) after seeing the episode you produced about our little town on WNED - so wonderful. No one seems to see our town in the way we see it. But you did. You truly did." ~ Ry (Cuba, NY)

"Hi! I just had to share how much this video means to me. My dad passed away unexpectedly a few years ago. We have since taken over the business and it was so nice to hear his voice & listen to him talk about the business again. Thank you." ~Mackenzie (Westfield, NY)

"My husband and I just read through your paper and found your show online and I am happy to tell you that we are now planning a few weekend day trips based on them. Thank you so much for the effort that all of this must have taken. It's so cool to discover these towns that we live near but never seem to get to. Now you've inspired us to do just that." ~ Sara and Tim M. (Amherst, NY)

"This is absolutely brilliant. I’m so impressed. I’m going to send this to everyone I can think of. This should be mandatory viewing for Western, New Yorkers." ~ Lucy W. (Fredonia, NY)

"Your Old Shep Podcast could have been five hours and I would have been glued to my speakers. I loved it and wanted to hear more! There are so many fascinating local legends to uncover here in Western, New York and I am so happy someone is taking the initiative to showcase it all." ~ George S. (Gardenville, NY)

"Having grown up in the Clymer area and frequented Neckers Co, Dutch Village and French Creek Tavern I can honestly say you captured the essence of each business. I could listen to Boo and Lucille talk for hours. Keep up the good work!" ~ Scott R. (Clymer, NY)

SPONSORS
Say

"In the 20+ years that I've been in business, this is the best money that I have ever spent on advertising. It not only benefits my business directly, but also the town that I've invested my life and livelihood in. And for me, that's a win/win/win for everyone! " ~ Todd W. (Sponsor & Small Business Owner)

"I could have spent ten times more and not seen the results I've had with the campaign you created for us. The free commercial was worth it's weight in gold for us on Social Media and we've had lots of customers say that they've also seen our logo on your show, podcast and in your paper. Thank you for all that you do for the small towns in the region. I always wondered why no one ever recognized them for the hidden gems they are. I am more than proud to support our town and your show." ~ Eric P. (Sponsor & Small Business Owner)

"This small town thing you built ROCKS!" ~ Dave L. (Sponsor & Small Business Owner)
