Let Them Eat Cake
/
The book is over and it’s time to lick your wounds or celebrate depending on how the Nielsen families treated your station.
The staff at Tegna’s WUSA had a barbecue party at the station after having one of their best books in years. WUSA’s morning show ratings were up almost 300%.
This comes after the station hired Annie Yu last October to do the mornings. She jumped from The Firm’s WTTG to WUSA. At the time, FTVLive wrote, “It is one of the best hires a Tegna station has made this year.”
Not to say we told you so, but….
Yu was FTVLive’s TV Person of the Year for 2017.
WUSA also saw a good size bump in their late ratings.
Down at Cox’s WFTV in Orlando, it was ice cream that was bought by Anchor Jorge Estevez for the staff.
Believe me, with as hot as it has been in Florida this week, Estevez made a good choice.
Over in Cleveland, WJW celebrated with cake thanking viewers for their great ratings.
The cake said, “thank you viewers” but the staff was the one to eat it.
That doesn’t seem right, now does it?
