“I remember being at the Detroit Auto Show one year and looking at a very fancy car. I looked up across the vehicle and there was Dennis Edwards of the Temptations looking at the same vehicle!”
Which explains why the 2026 Detroit anthem was: My drive. My city. My show.You never know who you may see.
TY Dotson asked on Facebook:
“Why do you care what goes on inside Detroit city limits? Seriously, what’s the obsession?”
Viewer Timothy R. Bottle responded with a short but perfect response. He wrote:
“It affects the whole state.”
Paul Smith remembered:
“GM used to send us to the show FREE during work time. It was better in the 60’s & 70’s.”
Our station coverage of the annual Auto Show Black-Tie Charity Preview drew thousands of viewers and lots of comments. But these few may have summed it up best.
Jill Renfroe said:
“I enjoyed the broadcast. You guys (looked) great.”
Another TV-7 viewer wrote with a touch of humor:
“Love the cars! God approves! Lol!”

Keith Reynolds said with his thumb up:
“Very nice.”
Our station editorial about our TV-7 Newsmakers of the Year prompted this response from Celeste Malone of Midtown Detroit. She wrote:
“Thank you for this morning's tribute to Mayor (Mary) Sheffield and Dan Gilbert for their contributions and untiring efforts to uplift the city I love.”
Ms. Malone, it was our pleasure!
Thanks for writing and watching.
