The Pittsburgh Pirates have managed to be 4.5 games back of a team that’s played 5 games TOTAL. In the words of Ron Burgundy, “I’m not even mad. That’s amazing.”
JUST IN: via email, Norfolk Southern says they will not attend tonight’s town hall in East Palestine because they are “increasingly concerned about the growing physical threat to employees”

Some pretty serious damage in Dallas, WV. This video is via the Dallas VFD. Reports of homes damaged and barns destroyed in Ohio and Marshall counties. NWS expected to come to survey damage tomorrow. We have the latest tonight on

My mother LOVES Stan. For her 60th birthday, I asked Stan if he would wish her a happy birthday on air. Zero hesitation. She told me last night this is still her favorite gift she's ever received. And that's truly just who he was. Kind, caring, genuine. The absolute best.
Hi friends! Just a little life update- I'm the new reporter at
@WTOV9
in Steubenville, OH! I'm pumped to start this new adventure. Looking forward to this next step- and I hope you will continue to follow me (I'll still have plenty of sarcastic sports opinions!)
Today is my 4 year anniversary at
@WTOV9
(!!) so it seems like the perfect time to announce that I am moving on up- I’m pumped to officially join the nightside crew as the newest evening anchor! I’ve loved my time in the OV, and I’m so excited for this new chapter! ⚓️⚓️
My 1st season covering the Steelers, I sat near Stan during a preseason game. Introduced myself, told him I'd listened to him my whole life. A day later, he messaged me. It began a wonderful friendship. He championed me, he fought for me. I'm so lucky to have called him a friend
Just as some clarification: the department applied for this in November of 2019. It just happened to be delivered last week. It came through the federal government's 1099 program at no cost- and was no longer being used by the military.
If you buy a bag of Halloween candy but get exactly zero trick or treaters, is it socially acceptable to eat the whole bag yourself? Asking for...me. I’m asking for me.
So question for everyone: when you do your Black Friday shopping, are you shopping for presents for other people? Or are you buying for yourself? Maybe I'm weird, but I use all the deals to treat myself to some new stuff every year!
Just really bummed about Tunch Ilkin’s passing. When I covered the team, he always went out of his way to say hello to me and ask if I needed any help carrying all my equipment. He was as genuine as they come. Really sad news today
In the midst of all the craziness, I realized today is my two year anniversary at WTOV!! Thanks for welcoming me into the Ohio Valley and allowing to tell the good and the bad. I appreciate our viewers more than I can express!
West Virginia schools are back in session tomorrow so I figured today was a perfect time for a few of my school pictures. Enjoy, and try not to laugh too hard 😂🥴
Before moving from the Ukraine to Hollidaysburg 6 years ago,
@vladhilling
didn’t even know what football was. Now, he’ll be playing for Penn State. More on his journey, tonight at 5 and 6!
Still no decision on the NFL for Saquon Barkley, who says he’s fully focused on the Fiesta Bowl. He said while it may seem like an easy choice, there’s a ton of factors he needs to consider before making the call
I usually say it around this time of the year and I refuse to let Coronavirus stop me- but I genuinely miss the old Big East Tournament. There is/was nothing like it
Basketball in Wheeling, be still my heart! The MEC basketball tournament tipped off today. Oddly enough, it was the last event that happened in Wheeling last year before the COVID shutdown. Needless to say, this is a sight for sore eyes!

At one point in his career, Ben Roethlisberger was lucky enough to witness this gorgeous resting witch face. Cheering for a win at Heinz tonight for

Guess what, I have flaws. What are they? Oh, I don't know. I sing in the shower. Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I'll hit somebody with my car.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know to stay far away from McKnight Road during the holidays from here on out. Amen.
Happy birthday to my

dude, my dad! This guy has given me my looks, my love of baseball and my passive aggressive tendencies 😂😂. Jokes aside, he’s one of the best people I know and I’m so lucky to be his kid. Happy birthday big guy!!
Did you know- history was made in Wheeling last night? Rosemary Ketchum became the first out transgender person elected in the state’s history when she won the Ward 3 Council race. I had a chance to talk to her about what this means for the state and the trans community
@WTOV9
Every year, my dad and I go to an Irish pub and have a beer (or 2 😉) to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day. Happy to be able to continue the tradition with him. Hope you enjoy a fun and safe day! 🍀🍀
CUTENESS OVERLOAD: Meet the newest Ohio County Sheriff’s deputy, Remy 😍. Remy is an 8 week old golden retriever and he’s the department’s new comfort dog

As a kid, I grew up watching
@StanLoveTheShow
. As an adult, I’m lucky enough to call him a friend. Today, he gets added to the Pirates Media Wall of Fame. There is no one more deserving. Congratulations my friend. I am so proud of you!
2017: covered an AFC championship, a Stanley Cup run, an Eastern League championship and Fiesta Bowl. Shot about 7253829 high school games. Oh, and I was a member of the

team for like 3 hours. Good year.
For years, Bob’s Lunch in Moundsville has been providing a free Thanksgiving meal to anyone who needs it. While it looks a little different this year, the free lunch is still available to anyone who wants to get a Turkey Day feast!

I just spent the day at a funeral for a family member who was shot and killed last weekend. I come out to the news of the mass shooting in Pittsburgh. My heart is so, so heavy. We NEED to be better as a society. We NEED to be.
