WXYZ DETROIT — It’s time to catch up on our Channel 7 viewer messages. Linda Tagg reacted to our station editorial about breast cancer awareness month. She wrote:

“No one gets cancer testing anymore. That will happen when society’s trust in the medical industry erodes.”

Nancy Washington said:

“Let’s keep supporting the fight against breast cancer. Where your pink this month to increase awareness. Together, we can beat this disease.”

Janet Mast Stanfield sent us this reminder:

“Let us not forget that 2,620 men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year and 520 die.”

Our WXYZ-TV 75th anniversary celebrationmessages prompted these reactions. One viewer wrote:

“Happy 75th! Please go back to the good programming you (had) then.”

- Greg Sicilliano

Albert Matasy simply said:

“Happy 75th Birthday.”

Patricia Fischer recalled:

“I was 6 years old then. Turned 81 years old (on your anniversary). Can you believe it!”

Another TV-7 fan wrote:

“In 1948, I was 4 years old for most of that year.”

- Raymond Szybowicz

Daniel Mitchell said:

“Congratulations, Channel 7! My family has been watching your station for three generations. Keep up the good work!”

D. Griffin left us this message:

“Detroit is a great news town. I watched your anniversary special on Sunday. It was terrific. Go memories of Bill Bonds, Diana Lewis, Jerry Hodak, and the entire team. I hope the journalists you have today appreciate the road they paved for them.”

Well, that’s it for now. Thanks for watching and writing and keep your comments coming.
