Vote 1 TV Tonight

I need your vote! TV Tonight is in the running for the Best Australian Blogs 2012 Competition.

Ok guys, it’s blatant plug time….

TV Tonight is one of 1024 blogs in the running for The People’s Choice round in the Best Australian Blogs 2012 Competition, run by the Sydney Writers’ Centre.

I’d be very grateful if you would consider registering a vote for the site.

If I’ve ever answered a question for you, helped you find where your show has disappeared to, badgered the networks on your behalf or just kept you entertained with stories -here is where you can give something back!

I’ve always found blog contests tricky, because my site is a mix of news and opinion (rather than just the latter), and there is a necessary whack of news aggregation.

Blog contest judges usually seem to favour those that have 100% original content like mummy blogs, or opinion rants (all of which have their place). I’ve always offered a mix of things -including breaking plenty of stories ahead of News Limited and Fairfax. So the People’s Choice is probably the only shot at any acknowledgement…

The contest also allows international votes, so I’m not getting my hopes up against that kind of loyalty! I might ask Hamish Blake for some campaign tips.

It’s a shame they aren’t based on traffic either -yesterday the site hit a new record of over 83,000 page views in a single day. Most months TV Tonight tallies over 1.5m. And yes the site is still run by one person.

In order to vote you will need to provide a name and email. Voting closes on Wednesday 9 May at 5.00 pm and if you want to vote later I will keep a link on the homepage underneath the Poll.

Vote for TV Tonight here.

Thanks, David!
