I love WGN, but I find it funny how they are always a little vague about the 4-7pm numbers. They conveniently double-posted the late news chart, instead of showing the afternoon numbers. A little insecure about how badly they finish in 2nd and 3rd?

CLETVFan 367 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Same with WJW as a lot of their reporters post pictures of the annual celebratory cake on social media.

tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 It wouldn't surprise me if the Winter Olympics were more kryptonite to NBC affiliate and owned stations ratings than a driver....much like the "Jay Leno" disaster of 2009 where late show ratings were affected pretty much across the board.

noggi 604 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Not much data but here a bit of info from WCCO… I really take issue with these numbers for streams though but it seems like an industry-wide issue.

You're right about that. The usual self aggrandizing KCRA press release that comes out like clockwork after every sweeps is nowhere to be seen. The Olympics must've killed them.

24994J 5585 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Yeah, the Olympics weren't the usual ticket to success, this year. With 2 days to go before sweeps ended, WMAQ's late news was average about 128,000 viewers, which is in the ballpark of a 4 rating, which is basically their normal audience. They almost always dethrone WLS during the winter games, but this year's edition seemingly didn't move the needle, at all. https://www.robertfeder.com/2022/03/02/robservations-abc-7-poised-sweep-late-news-ratings-museum-hosts-evening-lesley-nicol-wttw-promotes-nick-blumberg/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18771-february-%E2%80%9822-sweeps-roundup/#findComment-271001 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a WHDH to deal with anymore. If they were still an NBC affiliate, I think they would have preempted the latter quarter of the Olympics, including the closing ceremony. By the way, how are they doing? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18771-february-%E2%80%9822-sweeps-roundup/#findComment-271006 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHDH is getting the last laugh for sure. They were right about Leno being a ratings disaster and they're still doing circles around wherever "NBC 10" is.....

NBC 10 has beat WPRI and WLNE combined in the 25-54 demo in 10/10 newscasts. Only the Boston stations are running circles around them.

tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 The "NBC 10" I was referring to was WBTS, which was formerly known as "NBC Boston", the gaggle of subchannels NBC put together to steal away from WHDH. Obviously, the real NBC 10 from Providence is much more dominant.

Here's a better idea: Just don't decline to renew an affiliation agreement or sell anything to Media General! It would cause less headache for everybody. How about some ultra competitive markets though?

Kenneth Kissel 283 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Here is the Pittsburgh News Ratings from Rob Owen of TribLIVE.com. The Pittsburgh Nielsen ratings for February sweeps are out. But, due to the Olympics, they don’t really tell us much about local TV news trends except that the Olympics – once a boon for local stations – have become a bust, generally driving down WPXI’s newscast household and key demo (adults 25-54) ratings at 5 and 6 p.m. compared to February 2021. This includes both household ratings that reflect a measure of popularity and the more important-to-stations demographic ratings that are the basis for setting advertising rates. Because of the Olympics, it’s hard to draw comparisons, but it is safe to say WTAE looks stronger in the mornings, coming in first at 5 and 6 a.m. in households and the key demo. Channel 4 was also No. 1 at 6 p.m. in households. KDKA-TV ranked first at 12, 4 and 5 p.m. in households and demos. WTAE lead the 6 PM overall ratings but KDKA was No. 1 in the 6 PM demo. KDKA was also first in households at 11 p.m.; WPXI placed first in the key demo at 11, one newscast where the Olympics lead-in helped rather than hurt. Ratings released last week by Nielsen include both household ratings that reflect a measure of popularity and the more important-to-stations demographic ratings that are the basis for setting advertising rates.was No. 1 in the demo at 6 p.m. KDKA was first in households at 11 p.m.; WPXI placed first in the key demo at 11, one newscast where the Olympics lead-in helped rather than hurt.

Superdude 108 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Mornings have always been a stronghold for WTAE, like Noon on KDKA. KDKA used to be stronger at 6pm as well, with their hour long cast.

mre29 1537 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Question about that Pittsburgh chart: Why are the stations listed in that particular order in each graph (WPXI at the top, then KDKA, then WTAE)?
