Jay,
Love the make-over of the site… looks clean and solid. And the content–as always–is fantastic. I’ll post a link on my site.
Best,
Mark
Jay,
I found this site through Mark Joyella’s Twitter feed, and wow, I’m glad I did!
I’m so sorry about the way WNBC treated you, but from what I see as an outsider it’s not at all uncommon
Anyway, I’ve always been a fan of your political reporting and I’m thrilled you have another venue to be heard.
Much success to you, Jay!
Mike
Great idea! Keep the site going no matter what happens with you and the TV so we have a permanent record.
Jay, informative and full of useful information. Very easy to navigate. By the way sorry about your’e exit from WNBC..letting go the best political reporter in this city is so short sighted and once again WNBC loses a little more credibility
Jay, congratulations on the launching of this web site. It is what I would expect from someone of your caliber. Miss working with you, taking those well deserved breaks with you at you favorite local deli that has an incredible beer selection. This is just another door opening in your life and you will find success in what ever you do. WNBC’s loss!
You may have TEMPORARILY filed your last TV Report, but you definitely haven’t missed a beat. In some ways you’re more free to deliver the news and facts.
And what a great attitude!
We Love You! Keep it up
Jay-
Glad to see you are wasting no time moving on, yet continuing to keep ‘em honest! This site looks great. While I am betting this won’t be your “day job” for long, once again you lead by example, and give all of us traditional broadcast journalists a lesson in how to think out of the box. Bravo!
Jim
Nicely done ! Now I just hope never to appear on this site in quotes. Good luck Jay
Extremely happy to see that you’re doing well!
Jay — Heard you are no longer with NBC (what were they thinking???). My husband told me about Get Real. I am looking forward to reading this site daily. Best wishes for much success.
JAY,
I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT YOU WERE NOT WITH NBC ANY LONGER
BUT THRILLED AT SEEING YOUR NEW WEBSITE. LOVED YOUR ARTICLE “ARE YOU
SERIOUS” – WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST AND WILL BE CHECKING BACK
FOR MORE OF YOUR FINE WORK!!
JEAN R
Jay, i am delighted to know that i can follow your reports on demand through your website. You had a great run on WNBC and added a lot of class to that newscast. I can “be patient” when pushed. But i can hardly wait to see where your wit, smarts, style will take you next!
Leave your response!
