Monkey see, Monkey do Part 6, 7 and 8
Proving that there is no original ideas in TV news, we bring you a couple of more stations that have jumped on the ice desk bandwagon.
By this point we have to wonder if the TV consultants are not involved? Telling their clients that the ratings will trend up if they just build and ice desk for their anchors to sit behind.
While WSB (Atlanta) is putting every reporter they have (plus the janitor) in a 25 person box, WXIA was building an ice desk.
And up in Minneapolis, KTSP has built their own ice desk as well.
And WRAL in Raleigh enters into the mix with an ice desk of their own:
I will bet anyone $20 that the ice desk in Atlanta melts before the one in the Twin Cities.
Any takers?
