They crushed WXIA at 11pm and 9/10pm, which is now in last place, beat them often in other time periods, and almost tied WAGA and WSB on a few days on a few shows. Saw record growth--all newscasts up by huge percentages. The noon newscast, up a whopping 400%! Do you actually have any ratings?

RGSJenkins 435 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I saw this on a billboard on the Cross Bronx, WNJU is calling themselves #1 regardless of language and in all key demos for two months in a row. Their evening and 11pm newscast was ranked #1 in english and spanish language. Unfortunately, they are no numbers of any kind to judge the rest of the market but WABC did not post anything touting their ratings. https://www.nbcumv.com/news/telemundo-47-concludes-may-ratings-period-1-station-new-york-regardless-language-and-all-key?show=1067341&network=5266626 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17155-may-2019-ratings/page/2/#findComment-226926 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Spanish stations make this claim because most #1 English speaking stations claim they are #1 in the market but in reality its the Spanish station that is #1.

Why do these bit-player Spanish language stations insist on doing the deception thing? The Spanish speaking stations have been #1 and #3 for the last several years in Houston. KTRK still claims to be the city’s news leader, but Univision or Telemundo actually have higher viewership in the key news slots. Because KTRK doesn’t provide clarification, the Spanish speaking stations have to emphasize that they’re number one even ahead despite language. It makes perfect sense to me why they’d made this clarification.

It makes perfect sense to me why they’d made this clarification. But it’s apples and bananas... the English only viewers that watch the English speaking newscast don’t have a Spanish station as an alternative... they don’t speak Spanish... but many of the Spanish speakers also speak English and have a choice. This means that the English speaking stations are at a disadvantage in the comparison. The Telemundo’s of the world are hoping nobody actually spends 5 seconds thinking about that.. ”Despite language” seems to imply that the language is a choice for everyone... but it’s not... Its kind of like comparing Greyhound buses to budget airlines... sure both do cheap travel but are they really competitive? Is a 7 hour bus ride from Detroit to Chicago really competitive with a 65 minute flight? So I would argue that these stations are not actually competitors... they merely have a viewership overlap... Telemundo: “Most watched in town regardless of language” English-only viewer: “Guess I better learn Spanish so I can find out what the top news people are saying”... This stuff just isn’t reality...

alrdenver82 21 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Here's a look at the ratings from Denver, Fox affiliate KDVR is celebrating being a number 2 station, I guess they figure beating KUSA is impossible. No mention of the 6:00 pm hour on the article below since at that time they show Jeopardy and Wheel, but I'm sure they were pulling in strong ratings then as well with that now-defeated James Holzhauer winning so much. https://kdvr.com/2019/05/30/fox31-growth-and-momentum-continues-strong-no-2-in-ratings-throughout-day/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17155-may-2019-ratings/page/2/#findComment-227284 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the management at certain stations is the contributing factor to, in some cases (i.e. WFAA/WWL) a fall from grace for stations that once upon a time dominated their respective markets in the ratings.
