FOX35 in Orlando have put up several live cams from their studios – 2 of the set and 1 from the newsroom presumably to show off their new set.
Good idea but it’d be much more interesting if they were to broadcast the feed using Stickam.com or Ustream.tv with audio and all

Sports Xtra has a new set, new to me anyway and it looks like it’s virtual not hard set. They probably ran out of room or are building something. Or got tired of building sets for 2 years and slapped something up in Photoshop 
American Idol finally rubbed off on WFLX after all these years. WPTV remains highest rated station in all of Florida but WPEC and WPBF have posted some healthy gains.

Robbin Simmons is back at WSVN and already anchoring alongside Charles Billi.
A regular tipster says Elita Loresca was just spotted at NBC10 in Philly. There are indications she will leave WSVN when her contract ends. Vivan Gonzalez was filling in today.
There’s talk Jonathan Novack is also leaving which if true can’t be good for 7 with hurricane season just around the corner.
5 minutes ago I was reading about PerezHilton raking $100k a month from advertising from such a no-brainer blog. Then as I digested the possibilites, I typed DecoDrive.com and surprise … Deco Drive has been rebirthed on the Internets! And it took them just 6-7 years.
The site’s nothing too fancy, follows the template from 7News, with re-purposed video of ‘Deco Dayside’ from ‘7News at 4′ used as a preview for the show at 7:30. Somewhat confusing if you watch it a day later with that tag above saying “Tonight on Deco Drive”. A lot of AP stories and more video in the Deco News section from 7News broadcasts.
I’ve always wondered with the success of TMZ and Perez why aren’t they pushing Deco Drive more. It won’t make $100k a month but the potential is most definitely there since people already know the brand, and the show gets pretty good ratings. Get those interns to work they need the credits
Last night Maggie Rodriguez wished WFOR viewers good night for the last time before leaving the station for her new job at CBS The Early Show. Her colleagues gave her a nice send off and CBS4.com has a whole page of viewers well wishes.
So bummed I missed to DVR her last night, I thought she was leaving on the 25th.

Hacked
I just got a note from the server administrators my server has been hacked and used to attack other servers.
As such I have to check all files and may possibly have to take the server offline to make sure something else hasn’t been compromised.
