Where is Pat Battle? Is she okay?

Thanks all. Yes someone on the inside must have a peak at numbers they can share? These #’s are 5-6 years old!

Curious as to what the local news ratings are? Someone must know. Who leads at 4,5,6,11? Morning? Thank you!

He’s on from 7-10. He’ll just be sitting there staring lovingly at Rosanna while she waxes poetic about the snow?

Will be interesting to see him on Monday anchoring coverage of a potentially severe blizzard.

Does anyone know what will happen to all the MSNBC sets currently in use at 30 ROCK? Hopefully WNBC can expand into one of the sets. Currently their shoe box set is mildly underwhelming.

Anyone have any updates? They are moving soon, yes?

Are you all watching the same show that I am? The reporting is in depth and layered and smart. They have great chemistry and the set is stunning.

I completely agree with you. With that said, we know WABC is # 1 at 5,6 and 11. Do you have a sense as to how the rest of the stations fare in those time slots? I would think WNBC would at least be competitive at 11. Day you know? Thank you!

Solo at 5? Mistake if so.

Would give anything to see these ratings! Wish they were made public!

Me too. I switched to 7 during that era. Felt like they were on a shoestring budget.

Does anyone know why they are anchoring NOT from the set beginning with the 4pm today? Are they updating the set?

You’re insufferable.

i called this back in February earlier in this thread. Go Chad!!!!!

Interesting perspective on new ND choice: http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/3/7/ny-station-names-new-news-director

Loving the doppler radar as the background for the set tonight. They need to change it up. So sick of the top of the rock cam!

Assistant ND

Ha! Please no! Kenny Plotnik should return to nyc and come to WNBC!

Congrats to Susan. News 4 is a force in the city. It hadn't been in years and under Susan's leadership, it's become competitive again. I'm interested to see who takes Susan's place!

just up chad matthews!

"Even without an ND, WABC continues to lead the way in the ratings." Interesting. Wonder how the Olympics are affecting the numbers? Wonder if they are providing a nice bump to WNBC's 5 and 11 (which comes on at around 1130 during the Olympics)

I interned at WABC when Kenny was News Director. Everyone looked up to him. He was good tough and tenacious leader WABC has gone downhill under Camille's leadership.

In agreement here. Turned to WNBC coverage which was infinitely stronger.
