There are a number of empirical references to \u201cthe ratings\u201d on WCPT in this thread.
\nWould be really interested in what the ratings really are for WCPT and the show discussed here, but as Rob points out, WCPT doesn\u2019t subscribe to ratings and therefore there would be no way to know if their ratings \u201cwent up\u201d or they \u201ccrumbled.\u201d I am sitting here with the list of ratings for the Top 50 stations. WCPT, of course, isn\u2019t listed.
\nSince \u201cratings\u201d are tossed around here, a little sourcing might help to de-mystify things.
\n1. What REALLY has happened to the ratings? Facts??
\n2. WCPT is a commercial station. What has happened to the revenue based on the changes: \u201cup\u201d or \u201cdown?\u201d
\n3. WCPT is a business regardless of political viewpoints and internal politics. What are the earnings trends based on any product changes: \u201cup\u201d or \u201cdown?\u201d
\nOr is this simply a case of people who can\u2019t work together, (regardless no information on the three questions asked above)?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robservations on the media beat: While distribution was pretty much back to normal for Sunday newspapers across all Tribune Publishing properties, a cyberattack continued to disrupt production at the Chicago Tribune and other publications on their shared production platform.
