24994J 5269 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Plain and simple, how'd the ratings game turn out? In CHICAGO, WLS pretty much made a clean sweep (excuse the pun). In order, it went WLS, WGN, WMAQ, WBBM and WFLD in the mornings, even after 7am. 'Windy City Live' blew 'LMAD', 'Today' and 'Live!' out of the water at 9am, the latter 3 in a virtual tie for 2nd. Compared to a year ago, everyone's late news was up, except for WBBM which lost nearly a point. WLS (10.0) gained a whole point from 2012, and almost outdrew WMAQ (5.9) and WBBM (4.8) combined. WGN (4.5) won the 9pm hour handily against WFLD (2.8). http://chicagoradioandmedia.com/news/5638-wls-tv-newscasts-sweep-the-may-2013-ratings-sweeps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningNews 1289 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Will there ever be a time where WLS is not the leader in Chicago? Here's Houston, TX: basically channel 13 runs ahead in key time slots, sign on to sign off etc. but competition is growing. http://blog.chron.com/sportsmedia/2013/05/every-tv-stations-bragging-about-its-may-sweeps-numbers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trev57 46 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 In Milwaukee, WISN wins at 5, 6, and 10 with WITI winning in the morning. The big story here is that WISN blew WTMJ out of the water at 10 (and how close WITI and WDTJ have pulled to WTMJ). The final numbers at 10 were: WISN: 8.9 WTMJ: 6.0 WITI: 5.7 WDJT: 5.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBS 11 News experienced year-to-year gains at: 4 p.m. - up 27,080 viewers; Up 4% among viewers ages 25 to 54 5 p.m. - up 32,680 viewers; Up 57% among viewers ages 25 to 54 10 p.m. - up 6,360 viewers; Up 10% among viewers ages 25 to 54 CBS 11 is the most-watched in network prime, with 15 of the top 25 shows, including NCIS, The Big Bang Theory, Person of Interest and NCIS: Los Angeles. And among viewers ages 25 to 54, CBS 11 has 9 of the top 25 shows in prime --more than any other station -- including The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men and NCIS. CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley is up 44,410 viewers year over year and has more than doubled the rating among viewers ages 25 to 54. CBS This Morning (7- 9 a.m.) has more than tripled the number of viewers versus last May and has more than tripled the rating among viewers ages 25 to 54. Wheel of Fortune remains the most-watched program in the time period (6:30 p.m.), with 247,480 viewers. It also the number one program in the time period among viewers ages 25 to 54.

Other things I found interesting about the overall results: - "Jeopardy" on WDJT is almost neck-and-neck with WISN at 6:00. Again, this being the household ratings may be a factor here; Jeopardy probably skews very old. - WISN absolutely killed the competition at 10:30. When WISN first announced they were expanding the 10:00 news to 1 hour, there was a very loud negative reaction, which apparently has completely gone away. Doesn't look like there's a chance that Kimmel will ever move into the 10:35 slot in Milwaukee with those ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Pelley did a terrific job in my opinion, and I wonder if that rang true with viewers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVIntheDesert 183 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 In Phoenix, both KPHO and KSAZ are running "#1 at (insert time slot here)" promos; "#1 at 10pm" for KPHO and "#1 in the morning, 5pm and 9pm" for KSAZ. I suspect both KPNX and KNXV took some ratings hits this go-round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMC did win the 6 PM by half a point. WREG and WMC tied in that period in February. I guess people in Memphis still like their NBC Nightly News. Only guess I can give. If there's any good news both WREG and WMC had decent year-to-year gains after years of sliding ratings overall. WHBQ and WPTY were relatively flat.

swillh2k2 203 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 FOX affiliates somewhat succeeding? I'm shocked. It's not that farfetched. WJW in Cleveland usually does well, and KHON (Honolulu) and WALA (Mobile) are tops in their markets. (WBRC is at or near the top in Birmingham if I'm not mistaken; same with WTTG in Washington ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Britt Moreno isn't providing the type of recovery that KCNC expected. Will this be it or do they need more time? I don't know. Fixed it for you... Oh just shut-up Todd! This is Home ain't that all that and a bag of chips! *Sarcasm* I wouldn't be surprised if TiH contributed it a slight increase. It just proves that Gari knows what they are doing (and so does G3)!
