Here's all of FOX 5 DC's 2022 recap stories and a few looks ahead to 2023
2022 Wrapped: FOX5DC.COM Edition
While Spotify Wrapped told us what our most-played songs were so far in 2022, we took a look at our analytics tools to determine what stories on fox5dc.com were read and watched the most. This year, you (and much of the DMV - and even the nation) spent a lot of time on FOX5DC.com this year. From drama-filled trials (Johnny Depp and Amber Heard), to politics (Trucker Convoy, Migrants being bussed to DC), and crime (shootings in Virginia and Maryland, assaults on Metro), severe weather and (to make you smile) feel-good stories, these were the stories you were most interested in according to our metrics.
Over the past few weeks, the team at FOX 5 DC, our partners at LiveNOW from FOX and the FOX Television Stations' national team composed a bunch of great stories that look back at the year that was - and gets us thinking ahead to 2023. These are just a few of them.
