TV station billboard war

I am a true TV geek because I enjoy going to other television markets and seeing the station billboards. I've noticed Dallas always seems to have a TV station billboard war going on.  In Houston, the TV billboard war caused one television meteorologist to lose his head!

JL Watkins of LittleLostRobot fame (and KPRC Channel 2 employee) has a great idea. Start a Flickr group for TV station billboards:


So I’ve started my very own Flickr group called, “Local TV Personality Billboards” and I’m looking for folks to submit shots of their area TV news anchors on roadside billboards. Anyone can join/post, and I give bonus points to those who have the “Mount Rushmore” shots of anchors cut-n-pasted together, defying lighting and spacial composition. Anyone interested? It’s like a scavenger hunt! READ THE REST


That billboard Watkins featured is of Mia Gradney from Houston's Chanel 39 KIAH.

I love the Flickr idea! It would be a big hit across the country. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
