This is my final update for WRCB.  20 years ago on this date, I began the job of updating NBC TV stations with the latest in audience estimates.  That required I know what was running, and NBC has made this more difficult than any other broadcast network.  For almost 10 years, I've been doing this for WRCB on a near daily basis.  Working with Ralph Flynn has been an honor, but he's retired now.

With Nielsen changing to a new methodology that will report monthly, my skills are far less needed.  However, I do believe stations still need a dedicated staff member to do this task.

Beginning July 1st, I'll only be working on short-term projects for specific clients ardently competing against Sinclair stations.

Fall Season Prime Appears on APT

 Update at 7:04pm EDT
Looks like they've called it an evening at 30 Rock..  but they got all the way through Thursday nights (except holiday programming) with only Friday and Saturday nights still left up in the air.  My guess is there will be fill-in Friday and Saturday stuff until November sweeps.

These folks have swapped time periods for these Monday Night programs.

Ten years ago, I started this list of seemingly endless programming swaps.  I'll end it this month.
