Looks like SVN cleaned house in the afternoon. Did they have a bad sweeps period?
I think they need to work on 11pm, I think they are starting to because the 11 tease that Belkeys sometimes says is “stories you didn’t see at 10”. They always had a bad problem with usually the entire 11pm newscast field shots being tapes from the 10pm show.
Not having live shots at 11 never has been a problem. It was intentional, that’s because the 10pm is the main newscast, the 11pm is just more of a rehash and extention. 7 decided to keep it after the OJ trial because it makes them money
yes SVN had a bad book this November. Those are ratings from just ONE day…you cannot judge a station by that, you havr to look at a prolonged period (i.e. week, month, quarter)
