As we kicked off the Holiday week, you might notice that your station is a bit less busy.

The sales people are out on their boats, the GM is likely on vacation with the family. The main anchors are enjoying a few days off and the News Director is mailing it in.

But, you and I are here still working and trying to crank out the news during what is often one of the slowest news weeks of the year.

Sure, you will have some fireworks accident to stick in the newscast and at least one of your Reporter’s will do a live shot with a hot dog in their hand, but it likely be a slow week.

So, why not take the time to sign up to become and FTVLive Patron.

If you were a Patron, here are some of the stories you would have seen recently:

The internal memo sent to Cox employees about the ongoing sale of their stations.

The memo a News Director sent to one LA newsroom about Anchors showing too much cleavage.

You would know which Fox O&O News Director was spotted interviewing across the street.

How bad it has gotten with staffing in one San Francisco newsroom.

And why the newsroom was really pissed at their News Director in South Florida?

All those, plus hundreds more EXCLUSIVES are posted for the FTVLIve Patrons. Think about signing up and getting the news about news for just $5 a month. Click this link for details.

A big thanks to those of you that have signed up I hope the rest of you will do so soon!

Have a good week and let’s do some news…
