News station research question

June 10, 2004 10:33 AM

How many TV stations are there nationwide? ABC, NBC, FOX etc. have different listings for each market and would therefore be a seperate station to work for. Bonus for who has the best looking news anchor in your market.

Leave the search terms blank for a full list.

Very small market, but we're fortunate to have Jannay Towne on our airwaves.

I don't know about best looking, but I bet we get worst-looking hands down. If you like bizarre Southern things, you'll also like What's Cookin'?, a daily early-morning guess-what-I'm-a-stewin'-up-now kind of show. It's live, so you get stoned callers guessing things like "Boogers and Shit and Chocolate Chips" followed by a good Christian guilt-laden take-down of the caller by the hostess.

What about best newscaster name? WJAR, the NBC affiliate in Providence, RI, has Mario Hilario.

our morning show girl is hot. Jennifer DesMarais. Here's a link that had her listed as the fifth most Sexiest Newscasters (possibly NSFW)

Are you looking for a job in the biz? TVSpy may be a good place to start, and NewsBlues can be useful...
