Monthly Archive for March, 2005

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.

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.
