FiveNews 378 Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 Not to be a Debbie Downer, but where is the Moderator? I'm looking for November 2018 Sweeps results....not commentary on ownership in mid to small market TV stations.
NYPhillynews 103 Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 Any numbers from NYC, Raleigh-Durham, DC, Atlanta?

TriangleTriadMediaNews 267 Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 Didn't WTVD have a win or two recently? I know they didn't totally overtake WRAL.
Samantha 2898 Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 Looks like WLS still won but by less in Chicago. In fact, all the 10pm newscasts except WGN (!?) were down in the ratings. WGN led in mornings. WFLD was up 16 percent at 9pm.
cssimmons 2 Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 It’s been a year since anyone has shared Charlotte sweeps info. Not since Mark Washburn retired. Any insight there??

TheRolyPoly 2559 Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 So this is highly embarrassing for KMOV more than TEGNAitis on KSDK. KMOV finished DEAD last in all weeknight timeslots A25-54 except 10pm. KSDK actually finished second in all others. However... the BIG winner? KTVI. Yes, KTVI FOX 2, the Tribune station, the undisputed winner in St. Louis. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/11/28/sweeping-up-in-st-louis
SoFloTVClassics 1003 Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 Hmm, for KMOV, this makes KDNL a bit jealous, since they've LONG been the dormant last place ratings loser.

Or are they included in KTVI's numbers? Â

Georgie56 3318 Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 At least KMOV didn’t finish beneath KDNL in this book. That would’ve been really embarrassing.
east-tx-tv 121 Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 On 11/27/2018 at 3:58 PM, Myron Falwell said: The problem with TEGNA is that they are thinking WAYYYY too hard and creating a ton of problems that shouldn't exist. A station like WFAA could still hold their own in DFW if they weren't micromanaged to the nth degree. Of course TEGNA won't let up on the micromanaging because it's something that they have invested so much time and resources into.  Quote  On 11/26/2018 at 9:50 PM, Georgie56 said: Time for WFAA -- and TEGNA -- to do some soul-searching. If you're TEGNA, losing viewers and coming up empty in every timeslot in your biggest market is embarrassing.  I don't get to hear about Tyler-Longview market ratings, but I'm afraid Tegna's effect on KYTX has lowered their ratings chances against KLTV. Going cheap/casual/overly-social-media-reliant with their news appearance and delivery, as well as chucking anyone that had experience and name recognition in exchange for no-names/talking-heads was a huge mistake IMO. At least KYTX isn't trying to outdo KETK (wow, talk about huge mistakes....).

First time that's happened in a bit. Even KTVT manages a win -- at 10p in total viewers. Tegna-itis strikes again. http://unclebarky.com/dfw_files/b75082ab02efdd059ef776da9b911c18-4322.html   I truly believe Tegna's business philosophy ignores ratings. I don't think they care they run a #2/#3 news operation if they can keep the labor costs down (i.e. no old anchors commanding paid for experience, use of MMJs in large markets, etc.) to a level where they can run higher margins.
channel2 982 Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Even also-ran stations are insanely profitable, aren't they?

Not too bad of a business strategy if we’re being honest.

Sinclair makes a profit on KDNL and WNWO despite both stations being embarrassments in their respective markets. Hell, CBS makes a good chunk of change on WWJ/WKBD! When stations like those don’t spend any money (or in WNWO’s case, the absolute bare minimum), you can keep more revenue from ad sales and retrans fees. I mean, it’s simple maths. Going back to TEGNA, markets like DFW and Houston are such that they aren’t losing a damn thing even as their micromanaging is harming the ratings on KHOU and WFAA. Plus those two, along with the rest of the legacy Belo and legacy London stations, just went through a midterm election cycle that saw astronomically higher spending in Texas this year because of a ... well, certain senatorial race. TEGNA was, in truth, the big winners in the revenue department leading up to the election, and it wasn’t even close.
SoFloTVClassics 1003 Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Any word on the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale sweeps race?
