After pulling an all-nighter in preparation for this Wednesday’s SPIES offices site visit by our small business mentors at APS/AAAME, I noticed a 7:40 am email this morning from a reporter with the 6-city Scripps TV newsmagazine show called “The List.” Sleep would need to be delayed.

Would I be available for a Valentine’s Day interview…TODAY? After fast emails back and forth, I set the alarm for 3 hours of sleep, interviewed a very eligible single new client and then sat down for a fun, fast interview – because that’s the way The List rolls.

Phoenix, Arizona matchmaker Roseann Higgins behind the scenes shot on "The List" TV newsmagazine Valentine’s Day story about making the one you love feel loved.


This is our first TV exposure outside of Arizona. It’s exciting! The good thing is – this is their second time interviewing me for a dating story. It means they liked what they saw the first time or they wouldn’t have come back, the reporter kindly told me. Oh? That just makes my day! The List will air the first interview about what men and women want in a date when they need it. But the Valentine’s Day interview airs today! (Tuesday, Feb 5)

Tune in to “The List” today on these 6 stations and counting in the Scripps network:
The List TV logo
WMAR logo Baltimore 7:00pm
WCPO logo Cincinnati 7:00pm
WEWS logo Cleveland 7:00pm
KNXV logo Phoenix 4:30pm
WFTS logo Tampa 7:00pm
KJRH logo Tulsa 6:30pm

When all America has to compare matchmakers to are reality television dating shows that seem to have a batting average in long term relationships lower than Major League Baseball’s worst player (.197), it’s time the world knows a wickedly good matchmaker exists. Even if I’m not matchmaking for a television show, that’s okay. We’re private about who we work with. The single men and women who hire us for the most part are not looking to have their private dating lives on national television. I do however predict SPIES is about to become a 19-year overnight sensation in finding happily ever afters. We have proof of concept, now.

I hope you’ll tune in to The List and if you have friends who are single in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Baltimore, Tampa, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Tulsa, please pass this along. Maybe they can catch the show! And maybe they’ll want to learn more about how we can help them find love.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
With love always,
from SPIES Single Professional Introductions (for the) Especially Selective, LLC headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona.

PS You won’t find exactly what they asked in the interview because we won’t steal their thunder. But we will post a link to the video after it airs. Thanks Scripps and everyone at The List!
