THANKS to everyone who participated in THE GREAT LOS ANGELES WALK 2009!
More than 250 walkers joined us as we hiked down Adams and Washington Boulevards, from Downtown Los Angeles to Venice Beach. Read the recap (and see pics -- including a cameo by Magic Johnson!) here!
Franklin Avenue's Twitter feed was the first news source ANYWHERE to report David Letterman's extortion scandal. For TV scoops, L.A. news and random musings, follow us here.
February sweeps are over, and here's my favorite statistic coming out of the Los Angeles market this month:
Remember family-friendly broadcaster Pax TV? They changed their name last September to "i." They also dumped every last ounce of original programming, and now run repeats of shows no one watched to begin with, like "Doc."
The result? Pax... er, "i's" station in L.A., KPXN-TV (Channel 30) averaged a whopping 0.0 rating and 0 share among households in the market this February.
How about adults 18-49, the demo that advertisers love? Still a 0.0/0.
Adults 25-54, who might appreciate the station's older-skewing shows (like "Bonanza" repeats)? Again, a 0.0/0.
That's quite an achievement -- posting the same rating as channels that show nothing but empty static.
