After 45 years of nearly continuous service, WKYC says farewell today to longtime photographer and studio cameraman Mike D'Amato.
Mike started in the business in 1960 and has a lifetime of memories from his time as cameraman on the Mike Douglas Show. Mike has put together THE largest collection of props & memorabilia from Douglas' days here at Ch 3 before the show moved to Philly. In fact, one whole room of Mike's house is dedicated to those days.
Lately, Mike has been working with Del Donahoo on his travels, running robotic cameras for our newscasts, shooting news video in the field and running studio cameras for Good Company.
Mike is probably better known in the community than many Cleveland on-air personalities. He has been a tireless advocate for the station since day one.Mike has decided it's time to re-rack focus onto a diferent part of life - his retirement. Enjoy it Mike. We'll miss you!
