Hi everyone! I've made the move to WPIX-Channel 11! Check out my new segment, Tamsen's Take on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:50am!!

CW11/WPIX's Emmy Award winning "CW11 Morning News" is pleased to announce the appointment of Tamsen Fadal as General Assignment Reporter. Fadal joins the news team on March 24th, reporting for the Morning News five days a week, covering breaking news as well as feature stories.

Fadal comes to WPIX from WCBS in New York where she served as a reporter for "CBS 2 News This Morning" for four years. An award-winning journalist, Fadal was awarded an Emmy in 2005 for her work as an Investigative Reporter at KYW-TV in Philadelphia, and a Broadcast Journalism Award in 2004 by the National Air Disaster Foundation [NADF] post 9/11, for contributions leading to improved aviation safety.

In her career, she has covered stories ranging from the Columbia shuttle crash and the London bombings to features on beauty trends, fashion and entertainment. In 2002, she traveled to Afghanistan with the American troops to report on the war. She also traveled to Air Force bases in London and Germany to report on local troops during Operation Enduring Freedom. Prior to that, she reported for WPGH-TV in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and WOWK-TV in Charleston, West Virginia and KYW-TV in Philadelphia. She began her broadcasting career as a morning drive anchor for WHNZ Radio in Tampa, Florida after graduating from the University of South Florida with a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism.

Fadal resides in Manhattan with her husband, Matt Titus, a dating and relationship coach.

New York's CW11 (WPIX-TV Channel 11), is the flagship station of The CW Television Network. Founded in 1948 and owned by Tribune Broadcasting, a division of the Tribune Company, WPIX has long been regarded as a groundbreaking station in New York. In September 2006, WPIX became The CW11, and its successful Network programming, award winning news, extensive library of hit movies, first-run programs, off-network sitcom favorites, quality children's programming and public affairs shows, as well as outstanding event coverage, have contributed to the station's success. The CW11 has earned over 160 Emmy Awards, including multiple Emmy Awards for Outstanding Morning News Program and Outstanding Newscast.

WFTV alumna Tamsen Fadal helps husband on Lifetime's "Matched in Manhattan," a dating-advice show Remember Tamsen Fadal, who worked at WFTV-Channel 9?

The Emmy-winning reporter will receive national exposure in "Matched in Manhattan," a reality series. She's there mainly to support her husband, Matt Titus, as he offers dating advice. The show debuts at 9:30 p.m. Friday on Lifetime.

Why isn't there more of Fadal in the show?

"I still work at WCBS. That's my job," Fadal says. But she also works along with Titus in Matt's Little Black Book, a matchmaking agency in New York.

"His contribution is being a matchmaker. That's what the show is about, mostly him," Fadal says. "I work alongside him day in and day out. I try to help him find the best person for the client."

But there will be more of Fadal as the seven-episode series continues. "He comes home and deals with his marriage," Fadal says.

Fadal and Titus married in October, a week before filming started.

"We've been together almost four years," Fadal says. "I met him at a spa he owned in Philadelphia. He approached me and asked me out. He told me, 'You clean up really good.' I thought, 'How insulting for a woman.' At first I wasn't going to have coffee with him."

His persistence made the difference. Get this: He walked her to a date with another man -- just to have a chance to talk with her.

"I thought, 'What was the matter with him?' " Fadal says.

But she agreed to a date during the walk. They've been together almost four years.

"I love his confidence," Fadal says. "I moved around the country a lot. I never felt like I needed someone in my life to lean on. He lets me lean on him. But he never tries to change my independence. He embraces it. He's proud of it. It's hard to find."

Fadal worked at WFTV from 1997 through October 2001. She went on to the CBS-owned station in Philadelphia. She jumped to WCBS, the CBS-owned station in New York, in 2004. She reports in the early morning and serves as a fill-in anchor on the weekends.

Fadal and her husband have written a book for McGraw-Hill that will be out Feb. 1. "Why Hasn't He Called?" explains what attracts men, or as the subtitle puts it, "How Guys Really Think and How to Get the Right One Interested in You."

What's the biggest mistake people make on a first date?

"The biggest mistake women make is probably saying too much and acting desperate," Fadal says. "Wanting to know 'where is this going?' before dessert. Careerwomen want to make sure they're not wasting time. Men are in the moment. Women are: 'Are we going to have a second, third or fourth date?' "

Then what's the biggest mistake men make?

"They don't realize what women are thinking about," Fadal says. "Men are emotionally unavailable sometimes. They're thinking about their career."

It's been five days since your dream date. You thought the night went well but still no word from him. Sound familiar? As the husband-wife duo behind an exclusive New York dating service, the authors of Why Hasn't He Called? have seen it all and have shocking insights into what guys are really thinking, during your first date and beyond. Armed with advice that's both brutally honest and empowering, you'll be able to:

Matt Titus and Tamsen, Tavern On The Green, October 13, 2007

Well, we got our wedding pictures back and I wanted to share one of my favs! Here it is outside Tavern On The Green where we were married!

New York Times Vows Section

TAMSEN FADAL AND MATT TITUS

MATT TITUS is fearless.
On his first date with Tamsen Fadal, a reporter for WCBS-TV in New York, he told her she would end up falling in love with him.
“How do you know you’re going to fall in love with someone the first time you go out with them?” asked a skeptical Ms. Fadal, 36, who had initially refused to even have a drink with Mr. Titus. “I didn’t believe in love at first sight. I barely believed in love.”
But he does. Mr. Titus, 40, a professional matchmaker and dating coach in New York, also knows the rules. “Nine times out of 10, when someone doesn’t say yes, you should move on,” he said, offering advice he would typically give his clients. But there is nothing typical about Ms. Fadal.
“She’s a sex kitten and a smart reporter,” said Magee Hickey, also a reporter at WCBS. “Every man that looks at her falls all over her.”
Mr. Titus initially “fell” in October 2004 when he saw her at a gym in Philadelphia, while she was working at KYW-TV there. “I couldn’t stop staring at her,” he recalled.
But she was focused solely on her career, and lived in a nearly bare apartment. “I had sold everything, so I could be ready to move to New York if I got a job opportunity,” she said.
Mr. Titus, who at the time was a personal trainer with a bad-boy reputation and recently divorced, did not fit into her plans, which is what she told him. But that is not what he heard. He heard fear, he said. “I felt she was terribly afraid of commitment.”
There was some truth to that, she admitted. Having lost her mother to breast cancer, “I had a hard time getting close to people, because I was afraid they were going to leave me,” said Ms. Fadal, who was 13 when her mother’s cancer was diagnosed.
Mr. Titus was also 13 when his mother died from cervical cancer. “He talked about her like she was this angel,” Ms. Fadal said. “Women listen to how men talk about their mothers.” She found herself growing more attracted to him, which unsettled her. “In my career, I’m very strong,” she said. “But in my personal life, I was never sure what was right for me.”
Mr. Titus was confident enough for both of them.
He asked her out daily. If she had other plans, he would ask to see her after. He bought her flowers and jewelry. He even showed up with an umbrella on a rainy night — and escorted her to a date with another guy.
Then he sent a text message to her: “Call me when you leave.” And she did.
In December 2004, Ms. Fadal was offered a freelance assignment at WCBS, and Mr. Titus volunteered to drive her from Philadelphia to her 3 a.m. shift. Five days a week. “She’d get out of the car, and I’d drive back to Philly,” he said. He would return to New York to pick her up at 1 p.m.
“Matt’s passionate, and sometimes passionate isn’t rational,” said Eddie Varley, a friend since college and the chief executive of Matt’s Little Black Book, Mr. Titus’s matchmaking company in New York.
Mr. Titus embraces his gung-ho approach to life. “My mom died in my arms, and if I could get through that then nothing can hurt me,” he said. “I’m used to taking leaps without nets. I fall on my face a lot, trust me.”
The year before he met Ms. Fadal, he nearly died in a motorcycle accident while racing to meet a girlfriend while his first wife waited at home. “I had hit rock bottom,” he said, referring more to his infidelity than his physical injuries. After his painful divorce, he vowed to turn his life around and draw upon his mistakes to help others avoid them.
He was forthright with Ms. Fadal about his past. “I do think you can change,” she said. “Something traumatic can make you a different person.”
That said, she was cautious, fearing the depth of her feelings. “Matt helped me to realize I could have my independence and also have him,” she said.
He wanted that for her, too. “I love her dreams and how she pursues them,” he said. And still at 3 a.m. every day, he walks her to work.
On Oct. 13, 89 wedding guests gathered in New York on the patio of Tavern on the Green surrounded by the still-verdant trees. They oohed when Ms. Fadal appeared in her strapless charmeuse gown and matching ballroom gloves designed by Tanaj Perry, a makeup artist at WCBS. Then Ken Rosato, a priest of the Catholic Apostolic Church in North America and an anchor on WABC-TV, led the couple in their vows.
Afterward, the bride’s father, James Fadal of Orlando, Fla., offered a toast and benediction, saying, “May this be the day that you loved each other the least.”
