According to next TV Fox 59 is the first place in Indianapolis. It is unusual for a Fox station to be #1,  but looking at Miami, WSVN was market leader for years.

And it makes sense considering their overall competition is a Scripps disasterpiece in WRTV and post-Dispatch WTHR stuck in Tegnaization. Both stations have to deal with whatever corporate foists upon them, while WTTV is just bonus ratings and revenue and WXIN is pretty much left alone by Nexstar and has a solid news operation and coverage across the day. It's pretty much a "Luigi does nothing and wins" market as the others flail around. Same with Miami; outside WPLG and the Spanish stations, WTVJ and WFOR are subject to the whims of whoever's in New York.

 

I will say though I'm impressed by WDAF's new presentation; the older one was fine but just never felt real cohesive, while the new package just feels big-market and more defined with a full theme.

 

ETA - Forgot to account in WISH-TV which is fine, but being associated with Allen stations outstate trickles down to them and as an independent, they can only do so much to stay competitive. But at least they are compared to WRTV.

Long overdue!!!

KTVI  and KDVR would be great candidates for this package... Nexstar has some big FOX stations in larger markets that would make them stand out
