Byron Harmon is a first time news director working in the nation's number one market.
The news director for FOX owned WNYW sat down with TVSpy to talk about how he got his start and his unique approach to covering the New York market.
Harmon talked about his news philosophy, which was demonstrated recently. When other stations were going wall-to-wall on a recent breaking news story, WNYW broke in to regular programming for one-minute (TVSpy timed it) "How often do we have a house fire that really affects us?" said Harmon.
By turning his 6:00 p.m over to NYC veteran Ernie Anastos for a more intimate conversation about issues he says people really care about and letting morning anchors Greg Kelly and Rosanna Scotto entertain as much as they inform, Harmon is, as he says, not trying to "out WABC, WABC."
