When college pals Andy Whitlatch and Patrick Andrews decided to tell Lancaster's stories, they naturally picked up cameras and microphones rather than paper and pens. The two met as students at Temple University, where they studied broadcast journalism and co-hosted a radio show. After graduation, they moved back to central Pennsylvania and found jobs in local TV news. After covering their fair share of homicides, fires, and other downbeat news stories, Andy and Patrick decided to create their own TV show telling positive stories about Lancaster residents, events, and businesses, focusing on the unusual, the interesting, and the inspiring. In December 2012, after a community-wide fundraising effort, the first episode of Andy & Patrick premiered on LCTV channel 66. Consummate journalists, Andy and Patrick hunt for fascinating, unusual stories that capture the city's diversity and unique qualities. This DIY approach gives Andy and Patrick the ability to cover stories in a more in-depth manner than is typically found in TV news. The Andy & Patrick show has local partners helping it promote the City including Perfect Image, Tellus360, abc27.2, and now, an exciting new partnership with Fig®. "We believe there is strength in numbers," says Andy. "I think that's something that's been instilled in me from growing up in Lancaster." As the show continues to grow, so does the community's support for it. "People feel refreshed when they watch the show because it's such a different brand of programming," Andy says. "We want to inspire people. We want people to feel good after watching it." Watch episodes of Andy & Patrick on Tuesdays at 8 pm on LCTV 66 or on andyandpatrick.com. New episodes air every one to two months.
