Here are Some Stories While We’re Away

Happy winter break to all who celebrate! Whatever your holiday is, TVSpy hopes it’s the best ever. Personally, we celebrate Festivus. We’ll be off Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

In the spirit of the holiday, we give you a multitude of stories from around the country to keep you informed about the good: a Grand Rapids, Michigan anchor giving up her kidney to help a viewer. The bad: a Nashville reporter getting hate for a report. And the ugly: a man who allegedly attacked a Colorado reporter after yelling about his love of Trump heads to court.

Here’s the stuff:

• Former WSB anchor rescued after fall while hiking. Carol Sbarge was an anchor and reporter for 29 years at the Atlanta station. “So somehow, as I was kind of walking on the trail, my foot hit a rock. And before I knew it, I just went tumbling down this ravine,” she said. Click here for more.
