Hottest Houston social media stars April 2018

Lot's of changes in the Houston media social media world for April 2018!

First of all, we learned that a Houston anchor taking a stand against another city's TV station that dissed one of our own, gets you some social media love. And we welcome a KTRK abc13 talent in the overall top 5 list for the first time since I've been tracking this.

Share Rocket gives us data on how each Houston TV station and the corresponding air staff members performed on Facebook and Twitter for the month of April 2018.

Share Rocket is, "a social media ratings and audience solution providing media companies an easy way to quantify their social media equity, benchmark against peers and turn social market intelligence into insights that drive social success."

The numbers are pulled from station usage on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram using Share Rocket's "Share" measurement.

First we are looking at every Houston media company in the Share Rocket database and top personalities. Then I am looking at the top 5 on air staff members at each station in order of channel number.
