That gave me an idea, they should have female anchors do the tazer too, for sweeps you know. Too bad huge frizzy hair isn’t in anymore. I think

They’re offline pending a consultation by an attorney. How they’ll be back, if at all, depends on what the attorney tells me how the Fair Use clause in the US Copyright Law applies to this site.
And for those of you who run a similar site to mine, it is best you either consult an attorney who specializes in copyright law or risk having the station demand you take down content.
Remember stations own their content and they’re in their right to demand you not use it, no matter how much you might disagree with them.

You read it here first, nobody has that scoop yet, at last I can let the cat out of the bag. I have it on good ear that WSCV-T51’s very popuplar morning weather guy Felipe Ferro has been hired as 7News’ chief meteorologist. His last day at Telemundo 51 will be April 1st and he begins at WSVN by May. Me thinks before May sweeps begin he’ll be on the air.
That means. Johnston is going back to doing weekend evening news. And our favorite hottie, JOnathan Novak will be stuck with Saturday mornings, and ocassionally filling in for any of the other three mets.
Thanks J
Those of you that have followed know I hopped around from the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale market to Palm Beach, and back again to Miami/Ft Lauderdale. Well now it looks like Orlando’s TV market might get added here. Going to look at houses this weekend since it turns out prices here go up and up while quality is going down, and Orlando still has some room to grow. 3 hours drive …. eeesh …. someone hire me a cheffeur and a limo.
Local meadia weak online
I was hopping around the net and found a report on the local media and their online presence. Their 2005 stats aren’t out for this market yet, but they do have the August- September 2004 stats.
And from the looks of it, the local tv media sux online as much as it does on the air.
Out of 1.041 people surveyed here’s where they get their news.
28.2% YAHOO.COM LOCAL
18.0% MSN LOCAL CHANNEL
17.8% AOL LOCAL CHANNEL
16.3% HERALD.COM
13.1% SUN-SENTINEL.COM
8.3% NBC6.NET/WTVJ.COM
5.7% WSVN.COM
5.5% LOCAL10.COM/WPLG.COM
4.7% CBS4.COM (WFOR-TV)
Apparently there is not much demand online for stupid news that waste your time. I’ve said it many times one can live without the local stations and still be in the loop with what’s going on.
Guess I should finish that guide on getting your news without TV.
