In Reply To: 8 was kicking some tail when their viewership would normally be high. Bob Barker made way for the prez, and 8 seized the moment. They were aggressive with a clear, concise plan of attack. They fired their first salvo when they had live coverage of the protesters, and it snowballed from there. Bully for them! This is the kind of news effort that can turn the tide, much like 13 enjoyed in the days of Shawcross's arrest. Watershed moment? You better believe it!
Message: The only people watching the Price is Right are 60 and over, not exactly the crowd any station is trying to attract. You actually think there was a huge audience at 10 A.M. flipping the dial to see who had the best coverage? Turn the tide? Yeah, right. Kevin and Maureen vs Don, Doug and Ginny or even Janet and Rich? Sure, whatever. Dream big. Who knows, you might win the Mega Millions! Hey, I hear people were calling the Lonsberry show ripping 8 for being rude (didnt actually hear it). That will go a long way. More people probably listen to that show that watch any newscast at 8.
