At this morning’s presentation at the 2016 PromaxBDA Station Summit in Las Vegas, Connick and moderator, Ted Harbert, jokingly referred to his new daytime show repeatedly as Barry. And judging from the love he got from the audience of 1,000 TV station creative directors, he could call it anything and it’ll probably still be a […]
First Notes From The PromaxBDA Station Summit
6 a.m., Wednesday, June 22, Las Vegas Flying is not fun. My direct flight from Philly to Las Vegas that I booked weeks ago to attend the 2016 PromaxBDA Station Summit this week was canceled the night before my departure. My only option was a connecting flight through L.A. I won’t bore you with the […]
RECAP: 2014/2015 Creative Services Survey Results
Although we didn’t conduct a survey this year, TVNewsCheck and Market Share polled TV station creative services directors about a variety of subjects related to their jobs in both 2014 and 2015.

RECAP: 2014, 2015 PromaxBDA Station Summits
Market Share, since it went daily on TVNewsCheck in March of 2014, is approaching its 1,000th article. I’m amazed by that. So I’d like to hear from you. Get in my face or whisper in my ear. Tell me about your station and what it’s doing. What am I not covering enough? What topics would […]

WVUE Breaks 38-Year Late News Viewing Streak
TV stations in New Orleans are used to being in second, third or even worse place, in the news ratings. That’s because for almost 40 years, only one local TV news operation can lay claim to be the market leader, WWL-TV, the CBS affiliate owned by Tegna. Since 1978, “WWL has won every news time […]
WJLA’s Emotional Tribute To Orlando’s Tragedy
This is a good example of how I see Market Share working at its best. I got a quick note from Stan Melton, WJLA’s creative services director. WJLA is Sinclair’s ABC affil in Washington. Melton wanted to share a couple spots his station produced to show support to the victims and their families of the […]

‘The New Yorker’ Cartoons Poke Fun At TV News
When I was in high school in a small town outside Philadelphia, I used to read The New Yorker magazine in the hopes that it would make me more sophisticated and worldly. I enjoyed reading the coming and goings of celebrities spotted at various famous bars like Toots Shor’s, Sardi’s and the 21 Club in […]
KMIR-KPSE Are ‘Standing United’ For Orlando
Bringing together people of different faiths and sexual orientations to stand united against hate, intolerance and violence seems to me a step in the right direction. And that’s exactly what KMIR Palm Springs, Calif., is doing tomorrow night by inviting the public to attend a special gathering with the Palm Springs mayor and officials of […]
