In Reply To: I agree about Dale and Cristina. Why pay that kind of money for anchors who have no name recognition in the market? They are getting beat by the Simpsons for 4th place at five now. They have a rating of 1. What an embarrassement for a Gannett station in the 19th market.
Message: Here's the deal, the KOVR b-s and numbers manipulation ain't gonna change the REAL fact that KCRA OWNS THE MARKET. At 5 and 6, KCRA brings in more viewers than the other guys COMBINED. At 11..they WIN. And there IS NO COMPARISON between 10pm and 11pm except in YOUR mind. If you're so sure you can beat CH. 3 then move the news to 11pm and LET'S RUMBLE. My bet is your Viacom bosses won't let that happen. And enough with the per-centages. They are distortions. If you have 2 viewers and you add two more that's a 100% increase. If I have 100,000 viewers and I lose 1000, that's a drop but I'm still winning...even though you'd claim--KOVR up by 100%!!! So cut the crap and post the ratings NUMBERS. And KOVR folks, BEWARE. It's gonna get Really, Really Ugly now that you-know-who is in command.
