devswartz 2 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 For the first time since 1958, WDBJ in Roanoke is not number one in total viewers at 6 p.m. Longtime anchor Keith Humphry retired in May, and their July numbers tumbled a stunning 35 percent. The 6 p.m. newscasts are the most watched in the market. The GM said the bleed-off was mainly among older viewers. Only a decade ago, the station had more viewers at 6 than their competitors combined. I remember reading somewhere that the station has been struggling in the ad-friendly demos, but there was no breakdown of those numbers in this story. http://www.roanoke.c...anoke/wb/296730 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11404-wdbj-not-1-at-6-pm/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
