Advertisers are pushy, viewers are turning away

The biggest study of local TV news, Project for Excellence in Journalism, says so and takes a look at 43 stations in 14 markets. Miami/Ft. Lauderdale wasn’t featured but still, the study has a lot of interesting information. Our market is featured in the 1999 edition of the study. Journalism.org

I’d like to add information about local station’s involvements in the community, awards received by anchors, reporters etc. So if you’d like to share such information feel free to email me at fltv@yahoo.com You can send pictures and videos if you’d like. Please, email the event info at least a week in advance so I have time to add it. NOTE: This is only for DMA15 stations.

WFOR and WTVJ in trouble with the FAA

Published by admin on 11/7/2001 in Local Media.

WFOR and WTVJ in trouble with the FAA
Miami Herald 11/7/01
Apparently local stations keep an eye not only on the news, but on each other too. Proof of that is a call made from “someone” at WPLG to the FAA notifying the agency that WFOR-CBS4 and WTVJ-NBC6 had their choppers flying during a police chase which went through Miami and ended all the way down to Plantation Key, just south of Key Largo.
As you probably know the FAA has imposed restrictions on news choppers flying close to certain metro areas. For South Florida, the no-fly zones are 20 mile nautical radius around Miami International Aiport and the second is near Turkey Point nuclear powerplant. The FAA will investigate and if WFOR and WTVJ are found to have violated the rules, severe penalties on both the pilots and the stations can be imposed.
WSVN and WPLG didnt cover the police chase, which at some points reached 100pmh, due the restrictions.
