  1. It's so interesting that with such big local news in Miami, only the FOX affiliate ranked among all the telenovelas. Is news on that FOX station dominant in the market? Or were they just first to break?

    As for Boston, it's interesting that every broadcast network has representation in the Top 10.

  2. Thanks Terrence.
    The Miami Fox affiliate is WSVN-Ch. 7, which is ratings-dominant among the English-language stations.
    WSVN also has the only local 10 p.m. newscast.

  3. Ah...makes sense. So they were probably the only station on air at the time the verdict was rendered.

    It's funny -- every time a station airs on Channel 7, I always think it's an ABC station.
