They have one of the best cases to do it, since they are one of only a small number of truly locally-owned independents left in the nation.

And it looks like it debuted in 2010..... Can't wait to see when the next one in 2056, sources that's when the new graphics will debut!

Could we not have this discussion in 2 forum threads? The WABC angle to this is no longer relevant. Please keep it in WNT's conversation only (or not at all, if I'm being honest, since we know no opinions are going to change).

To not examine what has been and take lessons from it that you can use because they are simply good ideas that make logical sense is foolish. I understand that times change… but folks under 35 or 40 or something aren’t the only ones watching (actually they don’t really watch)… sometimes it really is the details that matter. Being in first sometimes doesn’t indicate greatness… just being the least bad option.

Actually everybody who is in second or third did market research that said what they were doing would work great so there are limitless numbers of examples across all industries of market research not doing a heck of a lot for companies or biting them badly… I would recommend not trying to use this angle. Market research asks the folks you see walking around that make you wonder what rock they came out from under answer questions about what they want to see. The idea that those folks can speak for everybody accurately is preposterous. In the end if you had 4 stations in a town and absolutely had to watch one you’d pick what you believed was the best. That doesn’t mean you are head over heels in love with the product… you might want to make 25 changes to it. But it’s the least bad option. Some people might have it as appointment viewing because they just can’t get enough of gods gift to News but the biggest winner is… shutting the thing off and doing something else. Consistently.
