Bruce is still there - doing his thing and having fun since 1977.  He does a 
great feature on high school athletes - The Varsity Club.  And the other 
three - Pat Callaghan (with channel 6 since 1979), Cindy Williams (anchor 
since 1989) and Joe Cupo (also since 1979) are racking up the 
years-of-service, too.

Lewiston has been getting more attention from the other stations, with WGME 
having a regular presence there nightly.

And for a time, WMTW had their broadcast studios right on Congress Street 
(across from Monument Square) in the heart of Portland, with street-level, 
window-views for passers-by (and thankfully, in this case, excluding errant 
minivans - unlike Chicago).

Again - I'm not as well versed in our local TV media as I should be, owing 
to the ongoing battle to sneak in sleep and naps between work and real-life 
things that seemingly happen "after supper for normal people."  I try to 
catch the news at least once a week on days when I can wrest the remote from 
the gnarled fingers of any one of my children.
