Mrtraveler01 738 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I noticed this article which happened to caught my eye and seems to go against the trend of CBS stations being the ones with the highest rated newscast at 11PM. http://www.wtae.com/news/WTAE-Takes-the-Ratings-Lead-at-11pm/-/9681432/19126380/-/yg0oe8/-/index.html What is WTAE doing right to make up for the weaker lead-in that WTAE gets compared to KDKA?

Daybreak 288 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Well Pittsburgh is a competative market. KDKA will surely bounce back. Well I will say Ken Rice and Kimberly Gill was a better team for the 11 p.m. but who knows.

chrismilton95 1 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 IMO, I think those snazzy new Hearst graphics gave them a boost in the ratings. They have more movement than KDKA's CBS O&O package, and they're obviously newer than WPXI's now 5 year-old graphics which are getting boring. The L3s have no animation at all, which is suprising considering they're Hothaus! I hope they look into getting some new graphics and music soon to keep up with KDKA and WTAE.

ElliotJones 52 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 People do not watch newscasts for the graphics. Pittsburgh is a really interesting market - very very competetive and you never know who is going to be number one and for how long.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 People do not watch newscasts for the graphics. Pittsburgh is a really interesting market - very very competetive and you never know who is going to be number one and for how long. And to show for what he just said, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette showed basically all the numbers and how really tight the market is. Diagram Courtesy of the Post-Gazette. Sinclair, if you really care about buying television stations left and right including WPXI's adjacents in the Alleghenies & the Ohio Valley, you can pour all that capital in reinstating in-house news operations on Channel 53.
