24994J 5277 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 A day after Thanksgiving, and some of the sweeps results are already out. Here in Chicago, the Cubs not only beat the Indians, but they also clobbered the late newscasts of 4 stations. The skewed numbers and diminished viewership on 5 metered night led to WLS reclaiming the demo title (by a tenth of a percent) after 14 sweeps periods, in addition to their usual total viewer victory at 10. They were down a little more than a point, as was 2nd place WMAQ. WBBM in third and fourth place WGN remained about the same, but their numbers are already in the toilet in that time slot. WFLD's overall primetime baseball bump led to a 173% increase from 7 to 9 on the same period last year. Other news periods were not published. At 10pm: WLS (ABC 7) - 6.6 (228,558 households) WMAQ (NBC 5) - 5.3 (183,539) WBBM (CBS 2) - 2.5 (86,575) WGN (Ind. 9) - 2.2 (76,186) http://www.robertfeder.com/2016/11/25/abc-7-sweeps-late-news-ratings-november/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mardek1995 200 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 The audience is declining...Because cord cutting is becoming increasingly popular. I myself prefer watching youtube videos over watching traditional tv, let alone cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyNewsOpens 83 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Because cord cutting is becoming increasingly popular. I myself prefer watching youtube videos over watching traditional tv, let alone cable. Finding it very hard to cord-cut without resulting to the black magic of piracy/using unauthorized streaming sites, which I really prefer NOT to do, nor will I ever do. Mainly because the legal sites (such as Hulu) have months-old episodes and getting the latest episodes can get expensive for $1.99 a pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, if you want to cut the cord, amazon prime and/or google play movies and tv are the easiest ways to start. Anyway, any ratings for DFW, Houston, San Antonio, or Austin?

Good day to me seemed bland but I guess its a habit of many North Texans to watch it in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroupWBZ 73 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 No Boston numbers yet. I'll predict another month of WCVB/WHDH splitting the top spot in the morning/midday, WCVB leading across the afternoon and probably 11 PM, and WFXT leading spots where they're the only ones with local news. Poor WBZ, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were the days when pretty much any news about KPRC would cause half of the people here or at radiodiscussion.com to beg NBC to buy it.
