Lexington Herald-Leader Tuesday February 2000 Sweeps ratings put WKYT-TVin top news spot again Personnel changes at affiliates do little to affect news dominance has a little bit of a detrimental ef- feet on everybody's performance When he walks back into the room he's a very calming presence" The sole newscast at Fox affiliate WDKY (Channel 56) at 10 pm beat rival network primetime shows such as NBCs Dateline and CBS's rookie drama Family Law dip in a feu- news categories Ogle attributes that disparity to a in Nov '98 Because there was so much interest in the 1998 congressional elections the numbers were essentially larger than normal was just an extraordinary ratings book for us" Ogle said On the other hand he added there was-little interest in the 1999 gubernatorial primary Ian says he anticipates more growth the Fox network promises bigger lead-in audiences in February as Malcolm in the Middle continues to skyrocket along with the shifting of That Show to Monday nights" The 10 pm news did lose some momentum from last year taking a dip to 29000 total viewers down from 43000 in 1998 WKYT experienced a similar have no idea That all transpired before I arrived on the he said referring to the August departure of Kenny after he was identified as a customer of a local prostitution operation However the return of popular WTVQ anchor John Lindgren after colon cancer surgery did have a noticeable effect on that station's ratings according to the new vice president and general manager Bill Stanlev While ABC affiliate WTVQ was outpaced in most head-to-head news slots in total viewers the station did see its news viewership grow in several timeslots from November 1998 and from the last major ratings book in May 1998 what I'm able to see I think (Lindgren's return) was a big plus for us" Stanley said as much history as he has in this community being a trusted figure not only impacted the viewers but within this television station one of your main people is hurt people are concerned I think it just kind of pointed with the station's numbers at 6pm the 11 o'clock has not been left without some suggested he said overall very encouraged by the The station is planning to stir the pot with its recently reshuffled early evening newscasts As of early January WLEX has had three newscasts from 5-630 pitting the station's news more directly against competitors Previously the station's early evening newscasts started at 6 Said WKYTs Ogle: very interested to see how the changes that are going on right now will play Changes such as the comings and goings of popular news personalities usually do affect ratings but as for the high-profile departure of WLEX's Tom Kenny Nielsen say's he's not sure what to think Local newscast ratings During the last sweeps period Nov '99 three of Lexington's TV stations competed head-to- -head with their newscasts three times a day Here is how they compared to each other and -against themseMes in Nov '98 WDKY-TV (Channel 56) Fox affiliate has one newscast at 10 pm By Heather Svokos HBWUHfMER SWF WRITER The comings and goings of news anchors and general managers may have affected the most recent local TV ratings race somewhat but they diminish the overall dominance of WKYT the long-time market leader In the ratings from the most recent Nielsen sweeps period WKYT (Channel 27) had the most total viewers (2 and older) in all but one news category: the morning news which has often been a trouble spot for the station WKYT was first with total viewers at noon 530 pm 6 and 11 pm the slots where its Kewsfirst head-to-head against at least one other local news program At 6 pm the station pulled in 89000 viewers compared with 33000 for WLEX and 30000 for WTVQ At 6 am Kentucky Sunrise on Channel 18 (NBC affiliate WLEX) outpaced CBS affiliate WKYT 26000 viewers to 20000 really pleased with how well we did across the board except for mornings" said WKYT news director Jim Ogle He says that spot is tough because NBC's popular Today Show is a sort of reverse lead-in to WLEX's Kentucky Sunrise a tough thing for us the Today show is doing so well CBS has just launched its new program and is still searching to find an But WLEX's new president and general manager Gary Nielsen thinks there's anotlier reason for Kentucky Sunrise's strong numbers He says the quality the look and the energy of the newscast is what helps set it apart like to think what it is is we offer viewers an alternative at that time said Nielsen who replaced John Duvall as general manager in September just as WLEX's change in ownership went through Nielsen (no relation to the ratings folks) said he was disap if" 004 l024v 031 155 DEADUNESHOURSFAX Herald-Leader offices are located at 100 Midland Ave downtown Lexington
