(Editor's Note: In my opinion, there should no reason that the results can't be the same locally instead of CBS being in last place. Really!

"Congress passed a law on February 1, 2006, setting a final deadline for the DTV transition of February 17, 2009. Most television stations will continue broadcasting both analog and digital programming until February 17, 2009, when all analog broadcasting will stop.” FCC www.dtv.gov

I wonder why (with NBC Primetime being so weak) WSEE's 11pm news isn't number 1? I realize WICU is the only local station to subscribe to the AC Nielsen ratings service. It just seems curious that WICU's 11pm ratings haven't suffered from such weak lead-ins yet WSEE (with the CBS powerhouse) can't make a dent at 11pm. Don't even get me started about JET-TV's Accident, er, Action News!
