Houston social media stars September 2020

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

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.

Houston teen builds HTX Breaking News into big news brand

In the past, I've written about former Houston broadcast journalists who have started online news operations, but here is a community journalism success story involving a teenager!

“I am a 17 year old high schooler who has a little experience in journalism," Brandon Mora told mikemcguff.com via email. "I have gotten multiple compliments along with a lot of 'WHAT!!! You’re so young! Great Job!!!' I have surprised multiple people."

Founder and editor of HTX Breaking News Brandon Mora, along with editor Adrianna Solomon, have amassed more than 30,000 Facebook page followers in less than a year.

“I just wanted to inform my small community, Denver Harbor and other surrounding areas, of incidents that were occurring or have occurred in and around our area," Mora said. "At first the page was called East Houston Breaking News, but the name got out there and that’s when I decided to expand throughout the WHOLE HARRIS COUNTY area including parts of Galveston County.”

Mora tells me he has always been the type of person who gets calls from friends and family for the latest news in this area.

As his follower count grows, Mora is already receiving attention from the mainstream media.

“I was interviewed by Randy Wallace from FOX26 (KRIV) about an issue that had to deal with trains blocking roadways during school hours and the kids were having to crawl under and over in order to get to school on time," Mora added. "He was surprised to see who I was! I was also interviewed by Maria Salazar from FOX26 about an issue with the COH (City of Houston)."

Hey Brandon, can you share some of your Facebook followers with me! LOL!

Houston social media stars October 2019

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

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.

Eduardo "Yusnaby" Rodriguez leaves KTMD for Telemundo 51 Miami WSCV

Telemundo Houston KTMD reporter Eduardo "Yusnaby Pérez" Rodriguez leaves for Telemundo 51 Miami WSCV


It looks like in June while I was away, Telemundo Houston KTMD reporter Eduardo "Yusnaby" Rodriguez left for Telemundo 51 Miami WSCV.

This means he won't be number one anymore on my Houston TV social media updates which he was every single month of his almost two years here.

Rodríguez joined KTMD in 2017 from WLTV Univision Miami where he had worked since 2015.

When Rodríguez was an independent journalist on Cuba, he began going by "Yusnaby Pérez" to avoid trouble with the government.

If you add up his two Twitter accounts, he has more than half a million followers.
