Sports to replace KNX News simulcast at 97.1 FM

I remember KGO-TV using the same slogan. Bud’s twist was stolen from another sports caster who twisted KABC-TV slogan to make fun of sports obsessed people.
Their web site now shows Southern California's Weekend news on the schedule . It does show on Sunday at 5 AM & 11 PM Eye on Travel with Peter Greenberg, Face the Nation at 3 PM and 60 Minutes at 7 PM.
Thank God for modern news science. Remember when we needed to watch for more than a week to learn if our neighborhood would explode at any minute?
Sweeps series could be silly, but they were a way to tell a seven-and-a-half minute story. You just had to do it in five 90-second installments.
do sweeps still exist? My stations abandoned sweeps 7-8 years ago
Nope. Not anymore.
I'm surprised to see anything from CBS TV being made available to radio.
Audacy has a sales & distribution deal with CBS-TV
CBS And Audacy Podcasts Expand Sales Deal.
Eight years after Audacy bought CBS Radio, there continues to be close ties between the companies. CBS has inked a multi-year sales and distribution partnership that will mean Audacy Podcasts
Audacy had a similar deal with CBS News Radio, but as you know, that deal ended.
The Car Pro Show moves to KABC 790 next week at 10-12.
Does anyone know why they fell out of favor? I for one, do not miss them. They always seemed to choose the most sensualist, attention getting, and provocative topics.
"Coming up, the 2nd of our 5 part series taking you inside the city's secret swinger's scene with hidden camera!"
I’m kind of glad. I never thought holding off on big stories for only certain months of the year was ever a good idea. Plus producers, reporters and anchor was the biggest a$$holes during sweeps
I’m not sure. I never really got a clear answer as to why at my current station stopped. I didn’t work here when they did get rid of it. I think the business got too relaxed after covid and let itself go
Then if this is still the case, it sounds dumb that they partnered with ABC. There’s other routes they could’ve taken for a replacement for TOH news. They should’ve used APAudacy has a sales & distribution deal with CBS-TV

They also subscribe to AP. Look at the international news stories on their website. They credit AP.
A 24/7 news operation can't get everything it needs from one place. They use multiple sources.
Sweeps stories largely ended because sweeps themselves ended. So deciding that viewership in May was more important than April is no longer a thing.
From the Television Bureau of Advertising web site:
Nielsen retired the diary methodology in July 2018, and all Nielsen local markets are now measured year round. As a result, there are no longer only special “Sweeps” months.
AP makes no sense, because they do not offer live radio newscasts 24/7.
Hmm. I actually had no idea this even happened. But, I worked in a small market at the time. But I just knew one year my news director at the time was heavy on sweeps. Then one year later they never came to us
Yep. Prior to that, there were four books a year: February, May, July and November.
Stations I worked for (1981-2012) did sweeps pieces in February, May and November, but rarely for July, as viewing levels tended to be lower.
