News10NBC (WHEC)TIER 3
Blakeman sits for a Rochester in Focus interview on News10NBC (WHEC), covering his 100-day plan, taxes, utility bills, fracking and green energy, immigration and law enforcement; the station says it invited both candidates and Hochul's campaign is "working to come up with a date"
On Sunday, Sept. 20, Rochester's NBC affiliate aired a special edition of its public-affairs show Rochester in Focus built around a sit-down with Bruce Blakeman. Host Lynette Adams covered his 100-day plan, cutting taxes and utility bills, agriculture and green energy, the state food supply, immigration, electricity bills, law-enforcement investment, crime and affordability. WHEC says it invited both Blakeman and Hochul to appear in person or by Zoom; Blakeman accepted, and Hochul's campaign told the station last week it is working on a date. This follows Blakeman's Sept. 18 Greece stop where he pledged to lift the fracking ban by emergency order. No transcript or new policy specifics were published in the station's write-up.
