TV stations continue to put a lot of time and promotional dollars into driving fans to their Facebook pages. For proof, look at the increase in fans many stations saw from early April to late May in the list of top TV stations on Facebook.
Fox 8 News in Cleveland grew by more than 100,000 fans in that time. Fox 8 in High Point, N.C. nearly tripled its fans. WCNC in Charlotte did triple its fans.
I added four more markets to my full list of TV stations on Facebook this month (Raleigh-Durham, Baltimore, Indianapolis and San Diego). I’ll keep expanding the list, but if there is a station you want added right away just leave a comment below.
