Channel 10 Meteorologist Julie Durda Set to Throw Out First Pitch For Marlins Game

WPLG morning meteorologist Julie Durda will be throwing the first pitch at the Marlins vs Mariners game on Saturday. Yesterday she spent some time at Marlins Park with team pitcher AJ Ramos getting tips on what to do to get ready for her big day.

And well, a girl who can pull a Smart cart by rope and flip a huge tracktor tire, can probably throw little a ball. Guess we’ll find out on Saturday at 7pm.

Ratings: Spanish Stations Dominate

The Sun Sentinel’s Johnny Diaz has the usual Nielsen ratings recap for the most watched shows in South Florida, but this time there’s something many of you ask often about – newscast ratings.

The numbers are for total viewers and for just one week, but they offer a glimpse at what the current trend is like. No surprise that Spanish stations are on top, with WSCV in particular performing very strong compared to its closest English language competitor. At 6pm and 11pm Telemundo 51 had twice the viewers of WPLG.

Channel 10 which doesn’t seem to do so well when it comes to the money demo, ends up number one at 6 and 11pm among English language stations. Seeing WTVJ place last 6pm was a surprise but they do well where it counts.

All in all it looks like station managers have their work cut out for them. We have a very fractured TV market, and the viewer pool (at least on the English-language side) seems to be shrinking compared to years past.  If my calculations are correct roughly 409,000 households or 24% watch news at 6pm and 11pm.

You can check this post to see how the English stations rank in the 25-54 money demo.

POTD: Two Balls And a Cone

Channel 10’s producers chose a funny way to highlight the viagra ice cream story.

As the story goes, a British ice cream maker created a flavor they call ‘Arousal’ that includes 25mg of Viagra per scoop, and champagne as its key ingredient.

But it won’t be for sale, sorry. The flavor was a custom order by an a-list celeb who made the ice cream parlor sign a draconian non-disclosure agreement.

WTVJ, First Station to Sponsor and March in the Miami Beach Pride Parade

Over the weekend Miami Beach Pride 2014 took place and just one station (ahem) was there. WTVJ it turns out is the first local television station to sponsor and officially march in the parade. You’d be forgiven if you thought WSVN held that honor, I did as well, but as it turns out that is not case. Or maybe I’m thinking of Fort Lauderdale.

Team 6 showed up in full force, decked out in purple and dressed up for the occasion with plenty of signage promoting the station

NBC 6 anchors Jackie Nespral, Jawan Strader, Adam Kuperstein, and WTVJ assistant news director were also on hand

WTVJ even hired an airplane to drag a giant NBC 6 banner behind it

Al Sunshine’s tip: Shine a Light on Taxpayer Identity Theft

Florida is infamous for its connection to many of the big, and weird stories we see in the news. But it’s also number one in the nation for identity theft. Especially South Florida where ID theft in Miami has “reached epidemic proportions” with 324 ID theft complains per 100,000 residents.

Former WFOR consumer and investigative reporter Al Sunshine’s most recent piece for the RTDNA encourages the media to focus on taxpayer identity theft which costs $3.6 billion annually.
