I was running through the Fox 11 newsroom when it still bristled with life, so it must have been about 2006, pre-Great Recession, when the coffers were flush enough to have proper staffing. Within a couple of years, metaphorical tumbleweeds would blow through the LA station, but on that day it was still bustling.
A senior producer stopped me mid-flight, hoisted up his pants and said, “I brought something for you from Las Vegas.”
He had just been to an adult entertainment expo in Sin City – likely just in time for a sweeps ratings period –- and my spidey sense said, ‘this is not going to be good’.
