squiggy 10 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 NBC is not underperforming. It's usually #2 behind CBS. If you include Sunday Night Football, then yes. WRAL won't have that luxury until late Summer. http://deadline.com/2015/05/2014-15-full-tv-season-ratings-shows-rankings-1201431167/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14895-wral-loses-cbs-affiliation-effective-next-month/page/14/#findComment-146808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriangleTriadMediaNews 267 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Per WNCN's Facebook, they had a huge technical hiccup last night when the last ten minutes of the CBS Evening News were cut off and Judge Judy started around 6:53. No response from station management.

tw-804 192 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Forgive me for digging up this thread after a week or so, but WNCN had a great first week as the Triangle's new CBS affiliate. WNCN's total household viewership on a total day basis was up 56 percent and WRAL as the new NBC station is down 27 percent for the same full week compared to viewership for the same week last year! http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/3/10/first http://wncn.com/2016/03/08/cbs-north-carolina-viewership-up-56-over-same-week-ratings-last-tear/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14895-wral-loses-cbs-affiliation-effective-next-month/page/14/#findComment-147447 Share on other sites More sharing options...
channel2 979 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 That doesn't paint the whole picture, just their side of it. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14895-wral-loses-cbs-affiliation-effective-next-month/page/14/#findComment-147448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsbot 271 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 That doesn't paint the whole picture, just their side of it. Exactly; note that they don't post actual ratings. It's like those on-air claims to be the "fastest-growing TV station;" all it means is that ratings are up but we're still in the basement.

NewsJersey1 2 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I would agree. What is WRAL's side of the story? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14895-wral-loses-cbs-affiliation-effective-next-month/page/14/#findComment-147968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
