It was a year ago today that I announced to our readership that I had finally pulled the trigger and created an Official Branded Channel for “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” website but if you missed that announcement post, I invite you to check it out by clicking HERE to be more up to speed on it all. The creation of the Channel was a long overdue agenda item and one that I was glad to finally tackle to help out the editorial face of the Piercing Ken website. Since that announcement a total of “58” videos have been posted on the Channel and the latest one was published at the beginning of September when we shared the contents of the “Sweet Suite @ Home” Swag Box. The Sweet Suite is an annual event that we attend care of our friends at the Toy Insider.

The Tony Award winners were announced/revealed last night and while its a show that I generally enjoy watching I wasn’t able to do so this year because the network decided to air the awards broadcast on the Paramount+ streaming service while a celebratory concert mixed with some announcements would air in tandem on the public network. Though I had a subscription to Paramount+ for a short time based on a discounted rate, I let it lapse since I have Netflix, Disney+ and HBO Max to contend with and don’t need it but I digress. I did my best to keep up with the filtering in announcements but ended up waiting for this morning to share the news with you. Let’s go.
