The Best and Worst in TV News for 2107
/Today is the day that many have been waiting for and others have been dreading.
It is FTVLive's annual countdown of the Best and Worst people in TV news for the past year. Thousands of you have shared with us who you think should be on the list.
We went through all the emails, talked to scores of people in the industry and we narrowed it down to 10. The 5 Worst and the 5 Best.
The rules are simple the person selected had to end the year still working in TV news. That's why Matt Lauer, Bill O'Reilly and others were not eligible.
The people also had to work in TV news, not on the fringe. That means that TV agents, consultants and set designers were not eligible.
The countdown starts at 7AM this morning and will be updated each hour starting at 7AM Eastern.
Stay tuned and remember, no wagering.
Check back at 7AM and we will get the countdown started.
BTW- Special thanks to last year's best person in TV news and for carrying the torch so well for the year. Homa Bash will likely tell you that 2017 was her best year yet. She moved back to Cleveland and got engaged and the year started off with being named FTVLive's best of the best.
Let's do some brief news, before we get the special edition of FTVLive going.
