Hi! This layout looks really nice, but your forgot to list WLRN. Congratulations to Kirk Wade and Nicole Linsalata!
*you. And congratulations to everyone else. A lot of great work this year.
I updated the story and added WLRN, knew I missed someone, thanks. 3 out of 4 not bad 🙂
WFOR is good result ,but rate is poor.
WTVJ was lowest on totem pole again only winning 1 of 13. You can’t look at their 5:30 news
anchor or listen to her speech impediment. How far can they fall before wiseing up.
This is all you need to know about this sham:

Look, people love giving themselves awards, the only award that really matters is the viewership award..kinda like a website, you can get all the awards you want but the only thing that really counts is unique visitors and even more more important is conversion
