MorningNews 1448 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Seems like ABC has the momentum, I really wish that they had kept Nightline where it was. It would have been dominating Fallon right now. I think GMA's momentum in the absence of Josh and Sam, shows that people care more about the show than the supporting cast.

Action Newsroom 1281 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Congrats to ABC News for the recent sucess. MorningNews is right about Nightline. That show would've mopped the floor with Fallon had it stay in its timeslot. But ABC had to do what it had to do with Kimmel, still a smart idea in my eyes.

24994J 5577 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yeah, I love what's been done with Nightline since the move to the later shift. It's allowed them to be a little more edgy in the content, and it's giving them some freedom to mess with the format a little, and try a broader range of projects.

skbl17 188 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 While I still don't approve of ABC World News at the moment, I have to hand it to ABC News, this is quite a victory. Congratulations to them for pulling this off!

LarryFlick 26 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 ABC has been my broadcast network of choice for news for quite some time. I'm pleased that it's getting good numbers at last. It's especially heartening to see that GMA and This Week are resonating. The quality is there.

MidwestTV 1232 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Congrats I guess, although personally I don't like their product. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13636-abc-news-celebrates-massive-may-sweeps-victory/#findComment-105988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
