It takes a lot of time, effort and passion to put together a weekly television show. I’m blessed to have a great team that makes it happen every week! John VanDoorne is our photographer and editor and Jamie Allen is our producer. Our team of three puts out a product I am very proud of! I’m thrilled that the Michigan Association of Broadcasters feels our work is awarding winning as well. We recently received a “Best In Category” award for “Maranda: Where You Live” as well as a special Merit Award from MAB. It’s a great honor to be recognized for our work, it’s also a great honor to work with an awesome team and wonderful community partners! We are proud to be a part of “Where You Live”!
