Welcome to a new web series called 'Behind The Pine' - Presented By Great Lakes Brewing Company! In this series we will be traveling to different bars and breweries around Buffalo to talk beer and how it plays a part in the community! If you know me you know I love craft beer, and being from Cleveland, Great Lakes has always been one of my go to beers...

Lauren Hall is a known sports fan here in WNY. In addition to her reporting duties at Channel 4 (WIVB) she is also the "In Game Host" at the Sabres home games and a frequent fan at other sporting events in the area. That's why we decided to bring her in from normal reporting duties to try and break her into the sporting world with our very own football hall of famer, Dale Mussen. Many ..

Clay, Dale and I had the honor of participating in the National Salute to Veteran Patients at the Buffalo VA last Friday. Kids and volunteers from around the area make wonderful handmade valentines for the veterans and we get the honor of handing them out to patients currently at the VA...

Kristian Bush was in town for our Acoustic Show on 3/25 and you might have picked up that he is very talented musician. We decided to test him with our "WYRK Genre Challenge" backstage. See how he did when "All I Want To" transforms into several different types of music! ...

Rob and I have somehow managed to get artists to agree to crazy stupid videos with us when they come through town. However, last night was really impressive...mostly because when we asked Kristian to do this he didn't really know the words or how the song went but, twenty minutes later he knew the words and could play it on his guitar...

For as long as I can remember there had always been a Charlie at my grandmother's house. I remember being so excited to be the first one there because it meant I got to give Charlie the peanut! When my grandfather was still alive he rivaled Jeff The Animal Guy with all the animals the would hang out with him int he backyard...

We called scientists to find out why nobody agrees on the color of this dress: http://t.co/xDk6ilReMl pic.twitter.com/XXagBwesIK — WIRED (@WIRED) February 27, 2015   So when I came in this morning I heard something about a dress and I just shrugged my shoulders.  What's the bi...

It's become a new tradition with the staff at WYRK to have the Acoustic Show artists sing a cover with us and only use random instruments we found around the station.
