Unfortunately they've turned into "raisins" with this wheezy old lineup!
 
Re: !!! KTAR lineup CHANGES !!!

You guys are right. They should have left Snow on. What were they thinking putting someone local on? They should have stuck with the proven ratings winner.

Or, maybe they should have thought about Leibo. After all he got such big numbers and was so entertaining, right? Remember the ratings trouble at 5300 didn't start AFTER Leibo was canned.

I'm not saying mcmahon is the best move. If they put prestonwest in pm drive then I'll reach for dan's fork. Otherwise, my jury is out until I see who gets 1-4 and evenings. I have to say I think I've actually heard a heart beat from 620 in the last few weeks. That's something that hasn't been there in years.

If (or when) KNAZ loses its NBC affiliation, will that help KPNX in the North country? Or will another station (9, possibly?) pick up NBC?

First off, KNAZ is listed in Nielsen with KPNX as "KPNX+." To make matters worse, Flagstaff's NPG Cable system carries both KPNX and KNAZ. If KNAZ is sold to a religious broadcaster, KPNX will most likely be the primary NBC service for Flagstaff.

I don't see the other Flagstaff VHF's (4, 9, 13) picking up where KNAZ left off.
