Congratulations to New Tampa resident and former write-in candidate for Tampa Mayor Dr. Belinda Gail Quarterman Noah (photo), who recently started “Belinda’s Justice,” a new TV and radio show airing live on Channel 189 on Spectrum cable systems and on WTMP-AM (1150) and WTMP-FM (92.9 & 102.1) every Saturday morning at 10 a.m. The shows also are available online at Spectrum.net.
“It’s like ‘Judge Judy,’ but live,” Dr. Noah says. “Each 30-minute show, I hear the facts and evidence of each case and render a ruling and provide commentary on the case law affecting that case. The participants agree to abide by my ruling, rather than go to court. I’m really enjoying it so far.”
Although I don’t have Spectrum, Dr. Noah sent me the first episode — a “custody” dispute over a divorcing couple’s pet chihuahua — and although Dr. Noah’s show doesn’t yet offer multiple camera views or post-decision interviews like most syndicated court TV shows, I did find the long-time local attorney’s ability to put forth case law regarding the case of Smith vs. Smith to be interesting.
I wish Dr. Noah, who also ran for the U.S. Senate in 2006, lots of luck with her latest endeavor. “Break a leg,” Belinda!
