Jonesing For News (FTVLive.com)

This is the final p[odcast of season one and we look back on the year 2020 (yuck) and look ahead to 2021. What are our plans for next year? 

How many of us have been changed by the pandemic and how we will move forward from here. 

Where do we see the TV news industry heading in 2021 and what is the one thing you should do if you sign a new contract. What we think TV stations need to do to survive in the future. 

This and more in the Season One Finale of the Jonesing For News podcast!

Back with another podcast and although we shouldn't be, we were blown away about what we heard on Fox News. Listen to the clip. 

That got us started on a rant about all of cable news and why those outlets are bad for this country. We then talk about a former TV news Reporter that has completely changed since leaving the business and not in a good way. 

Lastly, why FTVLive doesn't put our competitors on blast, despite the fact that they steal stories from us on almost a daily basis and almost never give credit where credit is due. 

Listen in as we spend this podcast ranting and end up with a headache. 

Today on Episode 17 of the Jonesing For News podcast we tell you what happened when a Tv station employee fired a gun in the station and almost killed the Assignment Editor. 

We also share with you one of our favorite pranks we ever pulled on a TV Reporter. 

And, for you longtime news people we throwback to the days of CONUS....remember CONUS? 

All that and more in our Thanksgiving week podcast! 

On this episode of the podcast, we tell you why we believe that Joe Biden will NOT be the 46th President of the United States.

We also talk about how for the first time ever, Fox News has a competitor and it is scaring the shit out of them and what they might end up doing about that?

Lastly, we talk COVID-19 and TV people and why the virus is starting to spread more and more through TV newsrooms.

We are back with another podcast and we hit on all kinds of subjects with many focusing on the election that just happened and how the people in TV news covered it, how they reacted, and what the future holds for the industry moving forward. 

I can't list everything we hit on in Episode 15, so just listen and see what you think? 

Today on the Jonesing for News podcast we are T-minus one week for the most important election of our lifetime. How I handled voting here in Florida and was able to do so very quickly. 

We also talk about two people that work in TV news that really, really have disappointed us in their actions. One works at a cable news network and one works in local television news. We tell you who and why and we add why. 

We also tell you why you don't have as many friends in this business as you think you do. 

All that and more on this week's episode of the Jonesing For News podcast! 

Today on the episode we tell you the story that one Arkansas Anchor obviously did not want to be told. It was about how his and my career almost got torpedoed, before barely getting started. 

We also talked about why the people at Fox News are really letting down Donald Trump when it comes to advising him. Trump had a guaranteed way to get more votes in this election and he didn't figure it out and his advisors and Fox News didn't tell him. 

All this and more on Episode Lucky No. 13 of the podcast. 

Today on the podcast we talk about a huge hire in DC that the staff doesn't know about. How Tegna's Denver station hired a guy that killed a guy and how that is going to be a huge financial hit to the station and Tegna. We also talk about how stations are not preparing correctly for election night. An Anchor that was busted for assault and an LA News Director that has quit and headed up I-5. 

All that and more on this episode of the Jonesing for News podcast, Episode no. 12. 

Today on the podcast we answer some of your questions like, do you ever call out friends or people you like on FTVLive.com? How do we pick the Best and Worst in the business? Finally, the last question is a good one and we explain how we got started in TV news (it's not like most people) and what happened when a boss I had told me to "get the fuck out of my office!" 

This podcast is a good one and I hope you will listen and also feel free to subscribe on Apple, Google, Spotify, or your favorite podcasting platform. 

On this podcast we talked about what you should do when you make a mistake. 

We talk about Nexstar's big mistake how they handled it wrong and what they still should do to make it right. Plus we talk about a phone call we got from a Producer at CBS's 60 Minutes and what he had to say to us. 

All this and a bit more on Episode 10 of the Jonesing For News podcast!
