4um: Historic win for NYC Univision (most viewers in NYC)

NEW YORK -- Univision's local New York affiliate has taken the market's July sweep in all three key demo news races for the first time in history.

WXTV-Univision 41 won in adults 18-49 at 6 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts against the English-language competition on the other stations, according to data from Nielsen Media Research. It also won weekday primetime in adults 18-49 against the English-language stations as well as adults 18-34.

In weekday primetime, Univision's 174,000 viewers in adults 18-49 was just able to edge out the 173,000 for WNYW-TV, the local Fox affiliate. WNBC came in third during the week with an average 120,000 viewers.

For the 6 p.m. time period, the race was much more one-sided. Univision averaged 123,000 demo viewers to WABC-TV's 87,000, WCBS's 52,000 and Fox's 40,000. It was much the same at 6:30 p.m., where "Noticiero Univision" averaged 122,000 adults 18-49 to 83,000 for ABC's "World News With Charles Gibson," 59,000 for "NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams" and 54,000 for the "CBS Evening News With Katie Couric."

Things get a bit closer but not much more at 11 p.m., where "Noticias Univision 41" averaged 172,000 adults 18-49 to WABC's 155,000, WNBC's 138,000 and WCBS's 106,000.

If you really stop and think about this story, it's a little window into the population and cultural shift that is going on all around us. Thinking this story over when I first picked it up today, it truly began to dawn on me: we deserve this, and we are only going to get more of it. This happened in about two generations. Nobody is doing anything to slow it down. It's being accelerated. The two media-selections of this presidential election will ensure that.

A man should act, day-to-day, face-to-face, as he imagines he would in the world he wishes to bring into being.

Even at its best, the purpose of argument and critique is to reveal truth, not to create it.

Critique, critical thinking, logic, have all jumped the shark; because our civilization values them so highly (they did serve us well for a long time after all, particularly in the natural sciences) our civilization, too, has jumped the shark.

Critique today will get you nowhere. Better logic, better evidence widely promulgated, and appeal to principle will not improve things. Today, critique serves but two useless purposes, both of which nevertheless can provide a degree of personal satisfaction. First, it is used for the defense of orthodoxy. Second, people like to argue for the sake of arguing. So, argue and critique, if you wish, about 911, chemtrails, etc.; the man with the keys to the executive washroom is perfectly happy to let you do so.

The creative, inspired, and useful thing will be obvious and logical in hindsight.

Thanks, Tau. I was counting on some remarks along those lines from you. That's why I put you at the head of the ping.
