Bill Cunningham Is Doing Well On Cable, Too

Bill Cunningham, heard Sunday night's on WGBF at 9pm, is doing well on cable, too. Talkers Magazine has the story.

The Cincinnati Enquirer’s John Kiesewetter writes that Anderson Cooper’s eponymous daytime talk show has been picked up for another season and he wonders is WLW, Cincinnati talk host Bill Cunningham’s foray into national daytime TV talk will also continue.  Kiesewetter says Tribune president of programming and entertainment Sean Compton tells him they are not ready to discuss their strategy yet as “we have a different strategy than a traditional distributor,” although he notes Cunningham’s ratings success versus Cooper.  Cunningham beat Cooper in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles in both household ratings and persons 25-54 in the first two weeks of the November sweeps.  The daytime TV talk show format pool will get even more crowded next fall when personalities such at Katie Couric, Steve Harvey, Jeff Probst, Bethenny Frankel and Trisha Goddard debut TV talk shows.
