Nexstar was the best thing to happen to WATN. With Tegna, their fate has been sealed--sadly.

johnnya2k6 171 Posted December 7, 2019 Posted December 7, 2019 Nothing from Atlanta (yet), but my guess is that WGCL continued to make gains against WSB (especially at 4:00 thanks to Dr. Oz now as their lead-in) and WAGA. As for primetime? I think WAGA (with The Masked Singer, Thursday Night Football, and WWE Smackdown) cleaned WSB’s clock in both 18-49s and 25-54s; The Voice on WXIA probably beat Dancing With The Stars (which was also, love him or hate him, The Sean Spicer Show) on Monday nights. Of course, I could be dead wrong.

Tegna may help things in all honesty given how Nexstar got zero traction. 7 hours ago, TheRyan said: Perhaps Hearst...maybe. I will say that it would've been a huge bet on Hearst's part. Paging WJCL to the white courtesy phone...
GoldenShine9 1515 Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 https://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/ingram-leads-big-upset-over-big-easy-powerhouse No specifics, but it mentions WVUE won all time periods in NOLA and WWL continues to fall (probably 3rd behind WDSU now in general, but that can't be confirmed). In 2018, WVUE outgrossed WWL in money too.
rkolsen 1697 Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 WBAL finally got around to their promo, they were the most watched for news programs for 18+. So I assume that means total viewers and the demos.

tyrannical bastard 4084 Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 I think the near-total turnover of WSMV station management in the past year or so has helped to put them back on solid footing.
rkolsen 1697 Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 WJZ is now saying #1 Late News with no subtext or saying what demo or anything.

We had a station in our market that did something like this. They were in 3rd or 4th place in every time slot, but they ended every newscast by saying “Thanks for making us your #1 choice for news.” Loose enough phrasing to work, but incredibly deceptive.

Technically if someone is watching that newscast it IS their #1 choice for news, lol. Maybe just not the rest of the market's.
