mike91 67 Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Charlotte sweeps (go to the bottom of the article). Nothing surprising.

rkolsen 1697 Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Wow, I thought WCVB was the market leader and WBZ was usually third and fourth. Edit: Stupid me I did a quick glance and didn't realize the columns were sorted by station not rank. I haven't seen anything about Baltimore but like always I guess it will be a toss up between WBAL and WJZ. I do think the ratings will be artificially inflated due to the weeks worth of wall to wall coverage.
Mrknowitall526 116 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Cecily Tynan posted on her Facebook page that at 11pm in Philly, A25-54 share is as follows: 6 - 49% 10 - 28% 3- 23% Not sure what the ratings are, nobody in Philly seems to report them anymore.
tyrannical bastard 4084 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Charlotte sweeps (go to the bottom of the article). Nothing surprising. WJZY is finally starting to catch up to WCCB at 10pm, even though WAXN (WSOC) still dominates that time period (and all others!) 6pm seems discouraging, seesing as how WJZY is pulling half as many viewers as they were with "Two And A Half Men" repeats!

NewsMaster 226 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Here is Providence: Read the story here: http://ne1.be/1PBkWtl WLNE needs help. Now. Here's Salt Lake results. KUTV wins again, KSL and KSTU are second and third, respectively, and KTVX remains in the basement by a large margin. Nexstar really has screwed up KTVX badly.
swillh2k2 206 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Nexstar really has screwed up KTVX badly. No they haven't. KUTU and KSL have always run the market. KTVX has been in 3rd/last for a while.
GoldenShine9 1515 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Citadel needs to sell WLNE to someone willing to invest there. Especially if Sinclair micromanages WJAR it may be a huge opportunity for WLNE. But who makes the purchase?
TheRolyPoly 2659 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 No they haven't. KUTU and KSL have always run the market. KTVX has been in 3rd/last for a while. Include KSTU in running in the market. It's been KUTV and KSTU recently fighting for the top spot while KSL is #3 and KTVX is just... you know... one of Nexstar's ugly burnt down to the ground stations.
TexasTVNews 1379 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Citadel needs to sell WLNE to someone willing to invest there. Especially if Sinclair micromanages WJAR it may be a huge opportunity for WLNE. But who makes the purchase? One answer... Gannett/Tegna. Because if Citadel sells WLNE to the Gannett Company; this would mean major improvements if newscasts, staff, and all other changes.
tyrannical bastard 4084 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 It's very telling how screwed up WLNE is when even NEXSTAR passed on it (when they bought most of Citadel's other properties)... I could see WLNE's endgame as being sold off as spectrum bait and the ABC affiliation ending up as a subchannel on any of the remaining stations...it's far more valuable as a source of regional spectrum that reaches Boston than a Providence television station relegated to a limited market.
GoldenShine9 1515 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I wonder if we get ratings information for smaller markets?
tyrannical bastard 4084 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I wonder if we get ratings information for smaller markets? Not likely....even though diaries are being phased out in favor of more "people meters", their adoption is still being phased in Nielsen's smaller markets. Since it's pencil and paper data, it will take time to count up as opposed to the instant gratification of people meters....
A3N 1002 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 WLNE would fit perfectly into the Scripps portfolio. Scripps seems to relish on bottom of the barrel stations that need some TLC and resources- minimal of course. Plus it would another station in the NE for them.
sanewsguy 517 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 KSAT-TV sweeps news, wins prime time http://www.mysanantonio.com/entertainment/television/article/KSAT-TV-sweeps-news-wins-prime-time-6281678.php
scrabbleship 429 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 It's very telling how screwed up WLNE is when even NEXSTAR passed on it (when they bought most of Citadel's other properties)... When Nexstar bought Citadel's Iowa stations, they withheld WLNE because they had "unfinished business." Now if you are also alluding to when Nexstar was runner up for WLNE when Global was forced to unload it (back when they operated WLWC) then they were just outbid by a dark horse. I could see WLNE's endgame as being sold off as spectrum bait and the ABC affiliation ending up as a subchannel on any of the remaining stations...it's far more valuable as a source of regional spectrum that reaches Boston than a Providence television station relegated to a limited market. I think that if both WLNE and WLWC were to be cashed in for the spectrum it would be very unwieldy to shoehorn everything between WJAR, WPRI, and WNAC. For that reason alone, not to mention significantly viewed status in four counties, I think WLNE stays. In addition to the aforementioned Tegna, Scripps, and Nexstar, there are a few other wildcards who could use it to bolster their Northeast presence. Meredith, Tribune, Cox, Hubbard, Gray, even Hearst if the price is right (unlike what Freedom wanted in 2007.
mike91 67 Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 WLNE would be better off being bought by Hearst and turned into a semi-satellite of WCVB then to be in the misery it is experiencing now.

It should be noted that WGN's 4pm is close to WLS's in the demos. Mornings belong to WGN as well.
24994J 5676 Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 ABC 7's doing far better in the mornings than I expected. They've rebounded nicely over the last year, and the anchor change doesn't seem to have hurt them.
