bmasters1 405 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Is KTRK Houston's "Eyewitness News" still "#1 in Texas," as this opening claimed? I read from its Wikipedia article that it is "Houston's most watched station from sign-on to sign-off," but I was just wondering if it's still #1 in the Lone Star State in general.

I read from its Wikipedia article that it is "Houston's most watched station from sign-on to sign-off," but I was just wondering if it's still #1 in the Lone Star State in general. Hard to say - its possible that a station in Dallas would be the "#1 station in Texas" since they are a bigger DMA with a bigger share. Depends on how the station classifies itself as "#1" - total viewers? viewers of local programming? WABC here in NY can say they are the "Most watched station in the nation" simply because they have the highest ratings in the #1 DMA, so by default, they would be most watched amongst total available viewers. But, again - that doesn't mean that a television station in a smaller DMA doesn't have a higher percentage of total viewers watching... and obviously that's just speaking in terms of broadcast stations... cable stations have much higher daily viewership. I think viewership numbers are a very muddy area these days... a lot of stations can lay claim to something, and it'd be hard to prove them wrong without question.

Of all the openings I've seen from that station, that was never specified.
