Over the years FTVLive has bought countless headphones for our iPod. We never could find any that stayed in our ears while we were on the driving range or riding a bike.
But, after all these years we have finally found the perfect headphones.
Geraldo Rivera's publicity stunt took a bad turn Today with a poll that has been released.
Rivera said that he was "seriously considering" running for the Senate in New Jersey. Just about everyone thinks Rivera is just trying to get his name back out there as he seeps further and further into oblivion.
But, in the case that he was really considering, he might want to take a look at this.

Read MoreNBC says they are committed to the news division's "Rock Center with Brian Williams." Their actions would show otherwise.
While the NBC brass has not pulled the plug on Rock Center (yet?) they haven't been too worried about moving it around the schedule.

Read MoreIt's never a good thing when your station is doing a debate about violence and a fight breaks out.
Today is Valentines Day, so I guess I should introduce you to the love of my life (maybe it's like a lust).
I should point out that I have never met this woman (although I'm sure we would hit it off). We're both Internet Superstars (ok she is), but she's just a tad better looking than me.
It's likely this woman is making more money than you and her YouTube videos have been watched more than any video you have ever uploaded (Hell.... all your videos combined).
She works for herself, travels the world and has no boss to answer to. She just enjoys life.
So....Who is she?

Read MoreA Milwaukee station is walking dangerously close to the line, of having their anchors shill product on the air.
WTMJ News anchors Mike Jacobs and Carole Meekins are shown in spots promoting a contest on their station. In the spot the anchors are all smiles in the checkout area of a Sendik’s Food Market.
The station in connection with Sendik’s, is giving away $100 gift cards weekly for groceries with a $5,200 grand prize of “Groceries 4 a Year.” So, basically you have the anchors shilling for Sendik's.
Steve Wexler, executive vice president of Journal Broadcast Group (WTMJ's parent company), vehemently disagrees with any suggestion that his marquee news anchors are serving as advertisers.

Read MoreThe company SurveyUSA has done an in depth survey of the TV stations in Boston and posted it on their website.
And they have put it up for sale for $599.
It's interesting angle. Instead of waiting for a station to hire you, do the research and then try and sell it to every station in the market.

Read MoreKSDK in St. Louis was doing a story about a tree that was threatening to fall on a lady's house (I know exciting stuff...right?).
But the story did take a funny turn, when Reporter Mike Rush went to the tree owner's place of business, the receptionist refused to open the door for the TV station and she hid under her desk.
For a half hour!

At most stations here in the U.S. to become a News Chopper Reporter you have to go up in the News Chopper and report.
At CTV News in Canada it is a bit more complicated than that.

She writes I had what’s very likely the scariest, most humbling experience of my life yesterday.

Global Saskatoon morning news anchor Lisa Dutton can't seem to catch a break when it comes to getting caught in embarrassing on-air innuendos.
You may remember Dutton from last year's ultra-viral "pick-a-dick" slip.

Word to the wise: If your teething story starts with "the big, fat rubber end of my vibrating" anything, maybe save it for when the red light is off.
