Hi my name is Matt, I love Sacramento News and have been writing a blog about it for a while now. I've been thinking about doing a series about local TV news personalities past/present but especially ones who have moved in to other markets. To kind of update folks about where they are and what they are up to now. I am seeking some of you out of the Sacramento market that do not have social media accounts. I would like to know where you are now, how long have you been there? What do you miss about Sacramento? Any fun memories of your time here? Any photos you can share from your time in Sacramento? Misc. Comments (If any): So if you are from or once with CW31/CBS13, Fox40, KCRA3/MY58, News10... I Hope to find you Matt D
