News: WKYC #1 Newscast at 11 PM

February sweeps are over...and WKYC retains its #1 position at 11 PM.

WKYC beats both 2nd place WEWS and 3rd place WOIO by more than a ratings point.

February was huge for WKYC and WKYC.COM - thanks in part to better ratings for NBC programming, the Democractic Presidential Debate and several significant snow events that drew viewers to both platforms.

We set an all time high with vistors to our website...with near 16,000 on-line viewers of the Presidential Debate alone and over a 1,000 simultaneous chatters during the debate itself.

Other bright spots for WKYC include a 50% increase in our 6 AM morning news broadcast with anchors Mark Nolan and Abby Ham.

Also, our weekend mornings, weekend nights and 7 pm weeknight broadcasts continue to do well in the ratings.
