Everyone's saying TV is dead.

Social media is king. Traditional news doesn't matter anymore. Nobody's watching.

But what if that's not true?

In this episode, Emmy-winning ABC13 anchor Erica Simon breaks down what 19 years in the news industry has taught her, and why broadcast news still matters more than you think.

She's covered hurricanes, national tragedies, and breaking news that shaped communities. And she's pulling back the curtain on what the industry really looks like behind the scenes, the pressure, the process, and why you should still be tuning in.

You'll learn:

• Why TV news isn't dying (and what it offers that social media can't)
• What really happens behind the scenes in a newsroom
• How she's balanced 19 years on-air with motherhood and faith
• The stories that shaped her career—from hurricanes to Astroworld
• Why her favorite verse, Galatians 6:9, keeps her grounded in the chaos
• What the future of broadcast journalism actually looks like

Here's the truth: Social media gives you opinions. TV news gives you accountability, credibility, and depth.
