    Aside from basketball, is WPLG generally dominant in the Miami market?

    Interesting how WCVB doesn't factor AT ALL in the Top Ten (for reasons you mentioned last week), but do you know its highest placement for the week?

    Hi Terrence! Welcome back :)

    In Miami, WSVN-Ch. 7 (the sister station of WHDH-Ch.7 in Boston) is the dominant station, followed by WPLG.
    WPLG is a lot like WCVB in that it's the local legacy station.

    In Boston for that week, WCVB came in at #11 with 204,000 total viewers for the NBA Final Game 5 and then again at #11 (it tied itself) with 202,000 viewers for NBA Final Game 4, and then #14 with ABC's Bachelorette with 194,000 viewers.

    Ha! Thanks Johnny. It's always a pleasure to be here.

    Thanks for doing this again. I love reading about TV in your two home markets.

    Are you a PLG loyalist?
