New York Station Claims Most Viewers In U.S.

WABC-TV, ABC's flagship outlet in New York, boasted Thursday that it now attracts more viewers than any other television station in the country. Despite the fact that Fox won the May sweeps nationally and CBS came in second, the ABC-owned station said that its overall ratings were 50 percent greater than its nearest competitor. And while NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams continues to edge out ABC World News With Charles Gibson in the national ratings, the Gibson newscast in New York garners more viewers than Williams's and the CBS Evening New With Katie Couric combined.
