ns8401 941 Posted May 23, 2015 Share 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. No but that article you linked does say they are in second 530am and after in everything. How bad did you expect them to do? You didn't expect 5 to beat them too I hope?

WXmanTim 88 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Who knows if the Houston Chronicle will get around to publishing the results; but according to media blogger Mike Mcguff (mikemcguff.blogspot.com) KRIV, KPRC, KTMD & KXLN all had something to brag about. KRIV was apparently tops in the 25-54 demos for the entire morning news block. They werealso #2 behind KTRK at 5pm. KPRC topped the English language stations at 10pm in the 25-54 demo. Among all stations, KXLN was tops 18-49 at 5pm and both 18-49 & 25-54 at 10. KTMD was 2nd among 18-49 At 10.

alex979 119 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Here's a more in-depth look at all ratings in Chicago. WLS, WMAQ, WGN, and Telemundo station WSNS all claim victories. The others are all burning in viewership hell... http://chicagoradioandmedia.com/news/7422-abc-7-wins-may-sweeps-for-evening-newscasts-nbc-5-wgn-also-winners I'm not even going to attempt to rewrite it all down. Can't believe that CBS and FOX continue to let their respective O&O's in Chicago suffer through such misery. What WBBM really needs is a full reboot: shake up the format of their news programs, get a new studio, make some talent changes, etc. As for WFLD, I honestly think it might be time for FOX to either sell it off, or switch it to all syndicated programs during the day. Their news department has become hopelessly irrelevant, despite efforts to freshen it up. Meanwhile, it's good to see WMAQ and WGN trying to give WLS a run for their money. Competition is good.

24994J 5577 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 No but that article you linked does say they are in second 530am and after in everything. How bad did you expect them to do? You didn't expect 5 to beat them too I hope? They were duking it out for #2 for several months, each taking a turn in third, so anything's possible. WLS' #2 position at 11am should be reason for them to celebrate, too. WCL beating news on both 2 and 5 is something I didn't expect, but I suppose that the news audience has been fractured some since WMAQ moved to the hour.

tyrannical bastard 3951 Posted May 23, 2015 Share 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. WLNE's misery goes all the way back to its founding. It was a latecomer to the Providence area since a UHF station tried and failed to serve the area before. Then, the channel 6 allocation was forced to serve the Massachusetts side of the market (in New Bedford) while being shortspaced to stations in Portland, ME, Schenectady, NY and even Philadelphia's WFIL/WPVI. This caused it to be separated from WJAR and WPRI with weaker reception in Providence itself being in the opposite direction from these two stations. Even today Bristol County, MA viewers are stuck with Providence stations on the dial when their "own" station is focused on Providence as well instead of getting news from Boston, with then WTEV having packed up from New Bedford years ago. The "hot potato" of ownership didn't help either as Pulitzer sold the station to Freedom (to get WFBC/WYFF); Freedom selling out to Global several years before cashing out to Sinclair; Global filing for receivership, and the fire sale to dark horse bidder Citadel. Given this history and obstacles the station has faced, it's highly unlikely a major bidder would ever consider owning this station, especially those mentioned who either own, have owned, or are maxed out ownership wise. If Citadel ever sells, it's either going to be a small or local owner, or someone who will put this station out of its misery once and for all.

They have the most potential audience by a large margin so it's not hard to be most watched. A 3.5 / 9 share sign-on to sign-off isn't really that impressive.

MidwestTV 1232 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Has KSHB done anything to strengthen The NOW yet? I don't know about anything specific, but they surely have had to in attempts to not be last. Before The NOW, they were second and occasionally first at 4pm. Now they're 4th, and if you were to look at ratings from the other, non-news stations, I'm sure they would actually be 5th or lower sometimes. Plus, if The NOW had any chance of succeeding in the market, then we probably wouldn't have heard rumors about the show going on hiatus.
