With rumors of Mark Effron's exit by the end of May, sweeps period begins Thurs. with #WNYW (1.7) taking 7a vs. #WPIX (.4). #instantratings

I understand this is just one day but I have to say, recently, WNYW is becoming a fierce competitor to WCBS and WNBC. I wouldn't be surprised, when the full ratings come out, to see them beat WCBS in the news department.

I think WNYW beats WCBS in the mornings already.

 

I'm assuming you're talking about the mornings for WNYW. Yes, I think they are already surpassing WCBS in the morning. Everybody I know watches WNYW in the morning. As for the evening, there is no way WNYW can beat WCBS IMHO. WCBS does quite well in the evening, usually behind WABC, but competes with WNBC.

More numbers from Jerry Barmash. Can you believe WNBC managed to beat WABC at 11pm yesterday?I have to say WPIX's numbers have gotten better, even though they are not that good. I feel that the real loser is WCBS, they seem to be falling behind WNBC a lot recently.

I have to say, I watched the Fox 5 News at 10pm tonight, I was very impressed. Dari seems to have relaxed a bit and it seems like the whole show is just, fresh. What I thought was a huge gap between PIX 11 at 10 and Fox 5 at 10 before is now even bigger. My only problem is Steve talks fast and Dari talks slow so it seems like Steve interrupts Dari a lot.

It happens every once in a while. Nothing new.

Mr. Barmash's use of hastags makes me want smack him.

 

That is all.

Only seeing demos is making me want to do the same, since I'm not an advertiser the total ratings and shares are more quantifiable than a small segment of a mostly older audience.

I agree. I asked if he had total viewers, he said he would try but he hasn't come back with anything yet.

Well apparently PIX has done well in the mornings. The evening, though is a completely different story. It's obvious the 10pm is so bad, it isn't even mentioned. Read the full story here:

I guess some people do like Suki and Kori.

Because more people have watched the Morning News where they anchor.

Even if the article is just good PR, since the guy has ties with the station.

Jerry the Journalist? You took and failed the news writing test at WPIX two years ago and have been dumping on them ever since. Get over the rejection already!

Also your news room sources are pretty obvious...I'll be posting their names in the near future here.

And your other angry source is an embittered former WPIX personality who works with you at 77 WABC radio.

If I was a 77WABC manager I would be wondering when will Jerry turn on us!!!

Stay tuned in Jerry. :-)

So you are complaining he's a whiner and you are going to therefore get even... Or something, with him by posting peoples names on this board? Classy.... And about par with the descriptions of PIX. I would suggest you don't post names.

What did those other people do to you again?
