essentials 0 Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 At 1Opm: Wls Wbbm Wmaq At 9pm Wgn Wfld Big news for wbbm. They seem to be holding their leads better. Wfld is down from a year ago. Funny how Fowler leaves 2 and it does better while Fox continues to tank.
24994J 5629 Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 I'm happy for Channel 2, 5 has been so boring since both Warner and Bob left. WMAQ has little substance anymore.
cbs2worksforyou 44 Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Where did you get this info from? Can you post the full ratings numbers?

The Anti Cub 2 Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I'm happy for Channel 2, 5 has been so boring since both Warner and Bob left. WMAQ has little substance anymore. I'm not surprised though, Kate Sullivan is a very hot ratings booster. I do wish she'd quit that "I'm trying to look intelligent" look, and remove the glasses please.
The Anti Cub 2 Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I find it hysterical too how Chicago is rejecting CH. 32's long form news segments. It's not CH.32 I'm laughing at here, it's the mentality of the average Chicagoan with their short attention span, demanding fast food service that gets the laughs here. I especially find Bob Sirott's 9 PM broadcast quite interesting and different, it's somewhere between the average fast food style newscast and a Nightline show. Although I sometimes just shake my head when I view Nightline now, considering some of the segments they broadcast now have a light hearted tone or are not even close in style to what the original Nightline was, Iran Hostage Crisis and all. :ack:
Jase 1068 Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 I don't think viewers flat out rejected the new format. It's more a case of WFLD firing seasoned anchors/reporters for no reason and the countless daily technical issues that they have which has caused people to flee. While I like the new format, they didn't/haven't executed it well which plays a part in their rating troubles. Weak lead-ins doesn't help either.
