The annual ‘Best of Miami’ by The Miami New Times is out, and this year, like every year, among the categories were picks for best local media personality in three categories.
In the ‘Best TV News Anchor‘ category the Miami New Times chose WTVJ NBC anchor Jackie Nespral, noting her longevity at the station (and the market really) and quipping “We all know what the J in WTVJ really stands for”.
The ‘Best Meteorologist‘ title went to WFOR CBS4 meteorologist 
Lissette Gonzalez, for her charismatic personality and “simple yet through manner” in which she delivers the forecast.
The Times picked WSVN reporter Rosh Lowe as ‘Best TV News Reporter‘, noting his ability to find 
a crooked cop is in trouble a week before the DA makes it public. And for his dramatic reports, noting ” no TV news journalist working the street beat seems as deeply in touch with mortality as Lowe”
Of course, Miami New Times readers also had a say. In an online vote they picked WSVN anchor Belkys Nerey as Best TV News Anchor.
The Broward/Palm Beach edition of the Times also had its own Best Of for those counties.
In that edition Belkys Nerey won the ‘Best TV News Anchor‘ for her personality, which according to the Times is “the antithesis of frosty and fake”. And for being “[…] probably the only member of the local anchorati you could approach in public without getting your face chewed off.”
And last but definitely not least, the Times named WFOR CBS 4 reporter 
Brian Andrews ‘Best TV News Reporter‘ for his fresh style, charisma and insider knowledge of the region noting also the quality of his reporting.

Where are the blacks? This market needs more diversity instead of focusing on the Latinos and Whites. Only one black person was nominated? Just sad.. Jackie needs to retire.
Miami, most of them were sent to WPLG based on a survey that was done by the Head Honcho. That’s why some of the best talent was put into the dumpster.
WPLG has all the trophies for talent – don’t you see them?
No real surprises. Pretty accurate. Channel 10 is the only station that was a no show. No real surprise there either. May sweeps numbers
will tell it all.
When will May sweeps numbers for Miami be released?
Don’t hold your breath on the May numbers for Miami being shown anywhere to us.
Seems right to me! i grew up watching jackie, belkys, and brian. Rosh is one of the few odd noobs a 7 to stick out and be memorable. pretty cool!
Rosh is hardly a noob 🙂
WFOR won for “Best Diarrhea” on tv, beating out Taco Bell…
WPLG won for “fastest growing diarrhea” on tv.
Interesting.
I would be curious to know more about the voting pool…
