Happy Friday. Here at TVSpy, we get a lot of tips and leads and see a lot of stories about folks going places and doing funny things on-air that we don’t have time to write up.
Since some fine journalists have already covered most of the stories we do and some local stations post their own news about themselves, we thought we’d put together a list of stories we didn’t get to that you might want to read.
So here’s a look at some of the other stories that happened this week:
