Preston & Steve had a lock on the 18-to-34-male demographic: a 24.4 share, basically a quarter of the guy audience. Also worth noting was the rise of Danny Bonaduce on WYSP (94.1). Among men 18-34, his audience share in June was a 3.6, double that of the previous June.

Catching up

WB17 news alumna Margie Smith has returned to the Philly media fold as a reporter/anchor on KYW-AM (1060). After her TV career, Smith lived in the Caribbean, sailed to Europe, and was diagnosed with and beat cancer. She's also teaching at Temple University.

Former Fox29 sports guy Bill Vargus recently spent time in L.A. pitching his idea for a TV show about boxing. Vargus is also working on a documentary about Philly boxers.

Briefly noted

The TLC show Fabulous Cakes visited Chestnut Hill's Bredenbeck's Bakery and Night Kitchen Bakery, as well as Robert Bennett of Classic Cake in Cherry Hill and Washington Township. Set the DVR for 10 p.m. Monday.

Flying Monkey Patisserie of Reading Terminal Market fame will appear on the Food Network's Kid in a Candy Store at 8:30 p.m. Monday. Topic: brownies.

The Eagles' Winston Justice is a regular at this summer's Dream Camp at Girard College, and he's motivating the 160 campers, ages 5 to 16, with promises of Eagles tickets and fancy meals. The camp teaches such things as art and music production, and there's an eye toward nutrition. Justice recently began eating more healthfully. Chef Marc Vetri, through his foundation, has created the daily menu. MilkBoy Communications is filming the camp for a documentary.

Hotter than July

If you're thinking about hitting the Christmas in July promotion this weekend in Chestnut Hill, try again next weekend. Organizers postponed it because of the excessive heat in the forecast.
