When we begin preparing our dinner, tuning in to all that is good, bad, and ugly in local news as the long workday slowly melts away, who wants to feel as though they're being assaulted by the newscaster? Some local anchors kill us with kindness -- a sparkling smile that screams, "Like me! My hair is so pretty!" Others are too serious, making bad news -- from school shootings to gas prices -- seem even graver. This is why we love Amelia Santaniello, WCCO's longtime weekday... More »
