This week marks one year on the air for “Bloomberg West,” the daily technology and innovation show on Bloomberg TV.

Anchor Emily Chang told TVNewser the show’s home base in San Francisco provides an insider perspective on the tech industry.

“I love tracking the incredible rise of companies like Facebook and Twitter, love being part of covering what might be ‘the next big thing,’ and there’s no better place to do that than San Francisco,” Chang told TVNewser. “We’re covering today’s industrial revolution.”

Chang, along with Cory Johnson and Jon Erlichman, have led Bloomberg’s coverage of the major tech news of the past year, including the death of Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Facebook filing for its IPO and Groupon going public.

Final data will be out after 4pmET.

• 8-11pm, Total Viewers / A25-54

Fox News – 2.84M / 728K

On the broadcast side, NBC’s 10pm special drew just over 3 million viewers, placing fourth, behind drama repeats on ABC and CBS, as well as Univision.

In January, Gawker published an email sent by NBC News anchor Brian Williams to Gawker founder Nick Denton. The emails showed that Williams was not impressed by Lana Del Ray’s performance on “Saturday Night Live” the prior week. It made news.

This month, Williams’ primetime newsmagazine “Rock Center” will profile Denton and Gawker Media. Williams is expected to comment on the email incident.

• Bloomberg TV’s Margaret Brennan talks with Silicon Republic about the impact of the current economic climate on journalism. “People used to be able to work on a story for a longer period of time,” she says. “There are very few news organizations that still invest in that.”

• Maria Bartiromo recalls her early experiences on the NYSE floor at CNBC. “The New York Stock Exchange is an institution that’s 200 years old, with a Boy’s Club from the get-go, that’s very difficult to open up to women,” she tells Business Insider. “But I’ve never really faced people not taking me seriously.”

• Melissa Francis says that making the move from CNBC to FBN was “an offer she couldn’t refuse.” She tells The Hill, “Roger Ailes was really persuasive and charismatic and dynamic and told me about the vision he has for Fox Business, and I was drawn in immediately.”

Our sister blog TVSpy has the news that Sue Simmons, a staple on WNBC’s evening newscasts for over 30 years, will be leaving the network. WNBC declined to renew her contract, which ends in June.

Being the morning after Super Tuesday, one might expect the GOP candidates to be all over the network and cable news morning shows. Not so, however. Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum skipped NBC, ABC and CBS, as well as Fox News, MSNBC and CNN.

Romney did make one appearance this morning however… on CNBC’s “Squawk Box”:

While the big story last night was the battle between Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul, there was another surprising election, as Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich lost his primary battle against Rep. Marcy Kaptur.

On MSNBC, hosts Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews and Al Sharpton were melancholy about the loss, as this video from RealClear Politics shows. Later, Maddow interviewed Kaptur:

Kucinich was a staple on cable news, always speaking his mind. Could a paid gig in TV be far behind? MSNBC and Current TV have been stocking up on progressive commentators, and Kucinich is a proven TV personality.

Stay tuned.

This TVNewser is doing his civic duty, having been summoned for jury duty today. The jury assembly room in the 1927 Supreme Court of the State of New York building has wifi, which is nice. And the friendly jury lady got a round of applause when she announced she had lobbied to replace the hard wooden benches with comfy chairs. Also nice.

There’s also an introductory video about the history of law — serious, ancient history — as well the juror process. While newer than those wooden benches, the video must be at least 15 years old as it is hosted by Ed Bradley, the “60 Minutes” correspondent who died in 2006 and by ABC’s Diane Sawyer, who appeared to be between shoots for “Primetime LIVE!”, half expecting Sam Donaldson to jump in front of the camera.

I haven’t summoned the courage to ask the nice jury lady how old the video is, for fear of being marked as a wise-ass and then put on a 10-week trial. Damn. My name was just called.

There were dozens of pundits, reporters and politicians on cable news last night, but only one managed to secure substantial screen-time on three channels. Former Alaska Governor and VP nominee Sarah Palin–who is a paid contributor to Fox News–spoke to CNN, Fox News and Fox Business Network.

The biggest surprise was Palin’s appearance on CNN in the 8 PM ET hour. CNN had set up “Caucus Cams” across the country, including in Wasilla, Alaska. The appearance was unplanned, but not a total surprise, a CNN source says. While planning where to put its “Caucus Cams,” CNN executives decided Wasilla would be the ideal spot in Alaska because it would give the network a chance to catch Palin. Sure enough, Palin came to vote, and was stopped by a CNN crew:

While Palin declined to tell CNN who she voted for, she did reveal her pick to Fox Business Network’s Neil Cavuto, later on that night. “It is tough for me to spin out of a question like that from a Fox reporter, I can spin out of it from a reporter for another network, but since it came from you, I will tell you”:
