Face facts:
#1: Without the strong CBS lead-in, WBTV would not be winning the 11 pm.
#2: Without Oprah, WSOC and WBTV would be a lot closer at 5, 5:30 and 6.
#3: Without the Price Is Right, WBTV would not win at noon.
#4: Without Good Morning America, WSOC would not win mornings (and as long as WBTV has the CBS Early Show, it will never win mornings, no matter what is on ABC).
#5: WCNC will never win any time slot unless it comes up with a killer lead-in...and distinctive anchors who have at least an ounce of personality and don't put viewers to sleep. Think about it. The best known personality at WCNC is Larry Sprinkle...a weather guy who isn't even a meteorologist. But give the guy credit, he's got personality (and hair)!

Messenup is absolutely right. WCNC has arguably the best news product out there. It also has a great look. But what a dull, lifeless, lackluster bunch of on air people. That, and there is absolutely no chemistry between any of them. They're like watching cardboard. They act as if they're marionettes...they make all the right moves...do all the right things...but there just simply is no "spark" amongst them. So even though their product looks fantastic, it's like watching a well-preserved corpse!
