"Anyone who is serious about beginning a career in television journalism should go to LI News. It taught me everything I needed to know to go out and get my first job and succeed. I've recommended the program to so many people over the years that I've lost count!"
 – Melissa Rehberger, MSNBC Anchor

"LI News Tonight taught me more than all of my college journalism classes put together. You don't just learn about broadcasting, you become a journalist by getting out there and covering stories that matter."
 – Elizabeth Hashagen, News 12 Long Island Anchor

“It was way back in 1983, yes, the first semester it was offered, I had absolutely no idea that TV News was the direction I wanted to go in...LI News Tonight changed all that and gave me the start I needed to get into the field. I honestly don't think it's too dramatic to say that the LI News Tonight Program changed my life, and I'm pretty certain it has changed so many others.”
 – Mike DelGiudice, WNBC News Photographer

“I've now been a cable network news anchor for 10 years, and I believe LI News played a big role in my success. And I constantly bump into other successful news professionals (on and off air) who started at LI News. Congrats on 25 years of training some of the best in the biz!”
 – Patti Ann Browne, Fox News Channel Anchor

“My years at LI News were the foundation for my entire career. It was without question the most important and valuable experience in my college education.”
 – Brian Kenny, ESPN Anchor

“At each point in the journey, LI News Tonight was there to steady us and provide guidance; but like a wise parent, the program allowed each of us to find our own way—to rise from those stumbles, try again and eventually run to glory”
