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.

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.

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.

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.
