One clear winner. After more than a year of sharing the news ratings crown with WCPO-TV, WLWT (Channel 5) emerged as the Tristate's undisputed news leader in February Arbitron ratings delivered to stations during the weekend.

Channel 5, the top-rated 11 p.m. newscast for two years, also had the most popular 5:30 p.m. news. For the past year, Channel 9 had won the 5:30 p.m. ratings.

Channel 9 ranked second for both newscasts. WKRC-TV (Channel 12) was third. The double victory capped off a five-year turn-around at Channel 5. It's hard to believe that when General Manager Tony Kiernan arrived at the station in 1984, the 11 p.m. news was in third place; the 6 p.m.

news was in fourth place (behind sitcom reruns on WXIX-TV); and the 5:30 p.m. news wasn't even on the drawing board. One of Kiernan's first moves was to fire anchorman Richard Hull and promote former politician Jerry Springer, then just a nightly essayist, to co-anchor. Five years later, the former mayor is the city's No. 1 anchorman.

"I thought that I could turn it around in about a year. Little did I know," Kiernan said Sunday. "I'm just real pleased. It's a tribute to everyone who has been been involved." Arbitron ratings showed that Channel 5's audience jumped from 24 at 10:30 p.m. for NBC shows to 33 for late news.

Channel 9's audience increased from 26 at 10:30 to 28 for news, while Channel 12's share dropped from 22 for ABC shows at 10:30 to 17 for news. Hard times on Channel 12 It's been a quick, hard fall for Channel 12. In February of 1987, Nick Clooney's Channel 12 news won both the early and late ratings. Channel 12 fell into second place that May and into third that July where they've been ever since. Channel 12's third-place ratings last month were lower than a year ago, but comparable to January's Arbitrons.

With unnecessary visits by Sandy Duncan and Jason Bateman. I nathinn iuo-ln'- NohAnrk TV standards continue to slip with the premiere of CBS' Live-In (8 p.m., Channels 9, 7), about a young Australian woman hired as live-in domestic help for New Jersey "3 UVU yjtJ VTSlf I till VIIMWI Vl Tonight's pilot centers on the teen-age son's lust for the young woman, which compels him to drill a bathroom wall peep hole. Some sample dialogue: "The chick is frigid We've got to see her naked I really did see you even is if you were to see me naked." CBS folks have often told TV crmcs mai men uiyyesi Live-in, CBS is going the Porky's route to draw young viewers if parents allow their kids to watch. Lacking heart: Someday CBS will make a good ccmedy about a grumpy grandfather.

The Cavanaughs didn't make it last year, and Brian Keith's Heartland (premiering at 8:30 tonight) won't make it either. The comedy about Nebraska farmers has more charm t. than laughs, more chaff than grain. And Heartland has some toilet humor too. When water is shut off because of a plumbing problem, one kid proclaims: "Man, I gotta take a wicked wiz!" That's funny? Channel 1 2 news: Kit Andrews and Terry Jessup will co-anchor Channel 1 2's news this week while Rob Braun and Debra Silverstein are in the Soviet Union following Princeton High School students there.

Stand tall: Stand And Deliver, which resulted in an Academy award nomination for Edward James Olmos, airs today on American Playhouse (9 p.m., -4 Channel 16).

news for the first time since entering syndication in October (26-25). 'Feud' wins the slot Another big February winner was Ray Combs' Family Feud. Survey says: Combs CBS' daytime Feud won the 10 a.m. time slot over Sally Jessy Raphael, while his syndicated show ran a strong third at 4:30 p.m. (behind Oprah Winfrey and Channel 19).

"Family Feud definitely has a place in our fall schedule. The questions is whether it's at 4:30 or 7:30. If it does gangbusters at 4:30 p.m. in May, it will stay there," Kiernan says. The February ratings also showed the Channel 9's high-priced early evening game programs are losing their appeal.

Wheel of Fortune dropped from a 33 to 27 audience share; Jeopardy! slipped from a 33 to 29 audience share. Ratings for Channel 5's two news magazines, Inside Edition and USA Today, were flat, at 15 and 14 respectively.
