Ratings for DFW KTXA Ch.21 Prime News?

I have to ask...Does anyone know how the ratings are for Ch. 21's Prime News?

I find myself tuning in a lot, especially when nothing else is on.

Thanks.
 
Mostly 1s and 2s in the household ratings. It's down from the UPN numbers, but not by a lot. The best part for KTXA is that they get to sell all the advertising from 7-9 instead of just a small fraction of that as a UPN affiliate.
 
I am finding myself watching at a least a half hour of their newscast four or five times a week. Not always the same half hour, but I am glad they are there as an option.

Their ratings might be better in the summer when people switch away from a rerun of a show they have seen and watch the news.

The last month or so there seems to be more crossover by the anchor staff from both 11 and 21 than before. I normally watch Channel 8 in the evenings, but I found myself watching Channel 11's 10PM weekend news because channel 21's weekend anchor was on 11 at 10PM and I did not think to change over.
 
I am hoping that the prime newscast succeeds in DFW so that it is adopted in other large markets. I'd love to have local news from 7pm to 9pm here in Phoenix.
