Nielsens - business as usual

It probably says something that the noon news is the most exciting part of the ratings race.

KOAA continues to dominate the rest of the day, although KKTV had a strong 10 p.m. showing. KRDO was second in mornings.

But about those noon ratings...

KKTV and KRDO were tied, with KOAA third. KRDO took the lead with desireable 25-to-54-year-old viewers (the demographic is desireable, not necessarily the viewers themselves. Although I'm sure they're very nice).

If you're curious, KOAA's expose on District Attorney John Newsome didn't spike its ratings much. That's par for the course, said Ethan Beute, KOAA's creative services director.

"Aside from a Super Bowl or the 'American Idol' finale, no single event is going to move the ratings," he said.

Flat simply means they stayed #2 in most key demos only trailing 5/30. Flat doesn't equate to bad. The book was pretty flat as a whole. Even 5/30's numbers were flat.
The best way to describe May ratings, status quo or "business as usual".

It'll be interesting to see how Kimberly's departure at KKTV and her eventual replacement affects the morning race. There's been so much turnover lately at all the stations on the morning shift. After Georgiann at 5/30, the longest-tenured anchor on a Springs morning show is Zach at KRDO, and he hasn't even been there 5 years yet.
