May Numbers are In....
Arkansas Business.com has the scoop on the May Neilson numbers. Below are some highlights:
At 10 p.m., KTHV's 10.3 household rating and 20.9 share in the market tied KATV-TV, Channel 7, for the top spot. However, when you look at year-to-year growth, KTHV's rating jumped 16 percent, while KATV's fell 12 percent. KTHV also took an impressive lead in the persons 18-49 demo, where KTHV scored a 7.1 to best KATV's 4.2, and in the women 25-54 demo, where KTHV posted a 9.4 rating to KATV's 6.8.
The ratings also show impressive growth for KARK-TV, Channel 4, and KLRT-TV, Channel 16. NBC affiliate KARK continued to dominate the household ratings at noon, when it airs "Dialing for Dollars," while also showing year-to-year growth at 5 p.m. in the demographics mentioned above. KARK posted the second-best household ratings during the 5 p.m. newscast, trailing KATV.
Fox affiliate KLRT and its 9 p.m. newscast can now claim household ratings approaching the other stations and ratings in the two major demos that surpass its rivals. The station began broadcasting at 9 p.m. in May 2004, when it scored a 1.8 rating and 3.2 share. The station's May 2008 book has a 7.1 household share and 12.4 rating for the market, and its 5.6 rating in persons 18-49 takes the demographic's second spot when compared with its 10 p.m. competitors.
Though KATV maintained its household lead in the market at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., the station's newscasts showed negative year-to-year growth in the majority of household ratings and coveted demos.
The ABC affiliate won at 5 p.m. with a household rating of 11.3 and 26.7 share. The ratings were down compared with last year, though, and the station also lost the persons 18-49 demo, falling from a 5 in 2007 to a 4 in 2008. KATV held onto its lead in the women 25-54 demo, though, posting a 5.4 rating. The 5.4 rating is an 18 percent drop compared with 2007's 6.6 rating in the demo.

"KTHV's weak spot was the 6 a.m. newscast, where ratings fell in household numbers and demos."
If that's their only weak spot why were they 3rd at both 5 and 6pm. It's obvious Arkansas Business has a partnership with KTHV because they can't even report the news correctly.
Could KTHV's spike in May be partially attributed to Craig's new anchor job? I live in NWA, but if I were in LR, I woulda definitely tuned in to KTHV to see how he did.
Arkansas Business does seem to always paint a very rosy picture for THV, despite what the numbers indicate across the board.
Craig will take THV to the top. Look out!
Wow,that"s a real positive spin for THV
This is all due to the hard work ethic and onscreen presence of Meredith Mitchell! She's the hottest thing going in the LR area!
Really? I thought Katherina Yancey was the hottest thing going in the LR area!
knwa has the best ratings in arkansas because of the lovely and talented mickey goodwin.
mickey goodwin is out at KNWA
mickey goodwin is not out at knwa.
Only took 17 hours for it to go from KTHV's ratings to Mickey Goodwin's looks. Wow!
This is all due to the hard work ethic and onscreen presence of Meredith Mitchell! She's the hottest thing going in the LR area!

This has to be the work of an agent or boyfriend or fan club president or family member. If that's the case, I'm hoping you get your commission from her!
Meredith Mitchell looks good in leather.
hey 5:28pm. don't be jealous because you are north of 300 and your dog is better looking than you are redneck!
I feel sorry for Meredith I think her fan is not a fan, but is someone who is actually make fun of her with the over the top embarrassing comments.
"Meredith Mitchell looks good in leather.
9:34 PM, July 14, 2008"
I bet Beth Hunt looks even better!!
I love how Arkansas Business always prints Larry Audis' press release.

"I bet Beth Hunt looks even better!!"
I'll bet that Mickey Godwin looks pretty damn good in leather herself, lol.
Is Mickey Godwin married?
Just so you know, Mickey Godwin's bio is still on the KNWA website.
The only way that Mickey will leave there is to go to a bigger market.
Weekend anchor position on tvjobs at KNWA...it was nice knowing you Mickey.
goodbye indeed
Anyone seen May ratings from NWA??
KNWA is a dominant number one at 10:00 p.m. for Northwest Arkansas.
KFSM continues to win in Fort Smith.
KHOG is falling WAY behind in both areas. They may need a major overhaul
KFSM leads total market as well. They have come a long way in NWA as well. Knwa jumped way up in the AM show. 1st in NWA ever and tied with 40/29 total market. KFSM remains and will always be the dominate total market leader.
KNWA doesn't cover the entire market and could care less what the total numbers say. They only focus on NWA and they are winning big there.
kfsm is holding on because of the old people. well, they are dying off. they keep losing ground in the ratings.
Rumor has it Leslie Wright is leaving KHOG
KFSM has gained ground in NWA and the older demo is in the River Valley. KFSM is now #2 in NWA. Probably will never catch KNWA because of the message but #1 in RV and #2 in NWA sounds pretty good.
Hey KATV want to give your spin> Then stop sending out crappy presse releases and return phone calls.
