why so bitter, and as usual so wrong?
Back up your statement. Show me that KOVR late night NEWS lead ins are up year to year while KCRA's are down.
I'd love to see it, but you won't because you'd be proven WRONG.
You really gonna try to tell me that CBS lead ins are UP 16% and that NBC lead ins are DOWN 26%? Fool, please!
Instead of dealing realistically with the fact that ONE OUT OF FOUR of your nightside viewers are gone year to year, you hurl lame tabloid insults.
Guess the viewers don't care all that much about that "rich history" you keep babbling about. And as I've said before, our 10PM cleaned your 11PM's clock the last two books while pulling off massive year to year gains.
Your 11PM lost November and Februrary while registering massive LOSSES. Look at the late night trending for the last two years, you guys have been losing double digits in nearly every book. You seem to think that's OK, I wonder if Elliot agrees with you, and how long he's going to let the hemoragging continue.
If "Oprah" weren't clutching you to her massive bosom, you're 5 and 6 would probably be in the same dire straits.
In short kcraer, you don't know the numbers, live in denial, and probably sleep with a channel 3 lapel pin stuck to your jammies.
Show me the lead in numbers to justify a 26% year to year nosedive or go back to the romper room. |

I've sat on the sidelines long enough. You are a pompous jackass (that's right I've resorted to name calling). You are just on this board to bad mouth KCRA because you're jealous. KCRA continues to win ratings periods, dives or no dives. You know why? Because we do better news and the viewers know it.
It's been said ad naseum here that you CANNOT compare the 10 to the 11pm. But you still think that you guys are so much better when comparing apples to oranges.
As for your comment regarding the 5 and 6pm newscasts clutching Oprah's bosom, I do recall that for several ratings periods, THE SIMPSONS was the second highest rated show in the 5pm slot, behind our newscast. And that was BEFORE we got Oprah from KXTV. Did that make you guys feel good about yourselves? That your news product couldn't beat a cartoon rerun? Maybe you need more teddy bears in the background.
I can't wait for the November book, when you guys have all your new bells and whistles and our 5pm newscast still kicks your ass.
That said, I'm crawling back into the hole where I came from. I've said my piece. Now continue arguing.
