In Reply To: ch 5 still kicks ass at ten, still number 1 ..almost number one in the market overall in late news(including 2,4&7) as far as demos go. the gap between 5 and 11 is the largest it's been in years. the early shows5-6:30 suck and are a lost cause. everyone likes matthews and he's a great person to work for. it's amazing to see all the losers with their posts on here that don't even know what's going on with the numbers. most of them are part of the handful of lazy losers who've been at five for decades... they should be marched out the front door at gunpoint...but then hr would get involved!
Message: The station lost it's viewer base by neglect and mismanagment of ON-THE-AIR personalities. Letting go of household names who made the program watchable and endearing was disasterous...(not speaking of "clown" or 'just stepped out of the surgeon's office' hires either!) Behind the scenes people, be it writers, executive directors, producers and general managers matter very ...VERY little to the people who PAY the bills: THE TELEVISION VIEWERS THEMSELVES. The only way this station, will survive - let alone get stronger - is to capture the cast of New York City characters who once dominated, power-promoted and seemingly "liked" working together. It spilled over into tv living rooms all over this city everyday. It will be a daunting task for the "behind the scene" executive to sensably "execute" a successful news program.
