Kansas City Star - December 2, 2004 - E1

Live, late-breaking ... and the leader

In the first five minutes of this story, you'll learn the shocking details behind the TV station that toppled market leader KMBC! If that teaser sounds familiar, then you've probably been watching KCTV, Channel 5, lately. Join the crowd. For the first time in more than a decade, KCTV is sitting pretty atop the 10 p.m. Nielsen ratings at the end of a November sweeps month.

According to Neilsen Media Research, the 10pm news ratings look like this:

KCTV KMBC KSHB WDAF

KCTV has been #1 at 10pm sunce November, 2004.

I don't know where you are hearing that WDAF is #1 at 10pm, but that's just not true.

WDAF does lead the morning news ratings race.

KCTV is not the number one news station in Kansas City at 10. As a resident and native of Kansas City, I am sure that it is not number one- channel 4 (WDAF) claims that it has the number one at 10 slot. If you have further evidence, please show it here. So, until you do- then i will remove the phrase that says it has the number 1 news slot.

Both pages need to be merged and cleaned up a little bit. One only covers KCTV's recent history - the other needs much more information in general. Amnewsboy 19:30, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] KMBC #1

KMBC 9 NEWS IS THE BEST NEWS IN THE KANSAS CITY AREA!!! KCTV IS A COPY CAT OF KMBC!!!

[edit] Chopper 5 / Sky Hawk 5

Well I found some information to be conflicting to what I know. Chopper 5 is the 2nd Chopper that KCTV has used the First one being Sky Hawk 5 which was used in the mid to late 1990's. KCTV 5 was the 2nd Station to have a chopper. But for some reaosn KCTV-5 got rid of this chopper went without one for a few years.
