No more pop-ups. At least not as much. Had to put a nasty banner on top, but oh well, free hosting

“When are you going to add something for WSVN?” - I am currently working on videos and images, just haven’t had the time, I have other sites as well, and it’s kind of getting to me :). Stay tuned!

Florida TV Market Looses ViewersLately, we’ve all been hearing about losses. People lost jobs due to job cuts, stock market seems to play a game of who is going to slide the farthest, empting the pockets of many investors. And according to a rescent article, published by The Miami Herald, turns out that the South Florida television market (DMA #16) was not spared from losing something either. Fierce competitiveness, and closer than ever ratings results, were talked about a lot, but even with them, ratings have declined by as much as 8%, compared to the same period last year. The only two local stations that had a ratings increase were WSVN 7, a FOX affiliate, which had ratings go up 2%, and the Spanish WSCV 51 Telemundo. Apparently, now that the Elian saga has ended, the Mayor of Miami doesn’t make headlines, and O. J. hasn’t called “The News Station” to insist it’s not his fault, viewers are just not tuning in. Instead they go somewhere else to find news, maybe Internet or the cable news channels, which by the way have had quite a success, with FOX News leading the dance, and CNN trailing back. Or so I’ve heard
WPLG open, close, talent and more videos were added
The NTSB has given their final report on what caused the WTVJ-NBC6 chopper crash last year. According to them, it was the pilot’s fault, because he put the chopper into such a steep and sudden climb, that the rotor chopped the tail off. The chopper crashed last year in March, in a residential area in Miami-Dade county, killing the pilot Ruben Rivero and cameraman Rob Pierce. What is even more striking to me, is that apparently the cameraman had complained about the extreme maneuvers Rivero did with the chopper. The Sun Sentinel has published an article about this, click here to read it
CBS4 open and talent videos are on. Thinks WPLG would be next, hm?:)
WTVJ will host a town hall meeting which will air live at 7pm tonight. The meeting will focus on what problems the local community has and how they can be resolved. Hosts will be anchors Jennifer Valoppi, Michael Williams and Jackie Nespral. And oddly enough, no commercial brakes thanks to ______________ sorry they didnt pay for a spot here
Sweeps results are in, and lets just say, they were little surprising!!!
According to an article published on March 2nd, in the Miami Herald, the sweeps battle in South Florida, was closer than ever, separating the 4 big from each other by a little more than a signle point.
NBC6 is breathing in the neck of CBS4, both stations separated by just a 10th of a ratings point, with CBS4 leading. WSVN-FOX7, to my dissapointment and a big surprise was number 3, and WPLG-ABC10 was NUMBER 4!! I dont know, it might be my misunderstanding, but WPLG and WSVN used to lead the local market!
