Lincoln Journal Star's Jeff Korbelik:
KXVO Hopes 'Different' News Show Works

KXVO logo, courtesy of KXVO.comLincoln Journal Star columnist Jeff Korbelik calls the "KXVO 15 10:00 News" on Cox Channel 11 "Cartoon Corral" for 18- to 34-year-olds (a reference to the former Hanna-Barbera kids show in the 70s).

"It's no surprise KXVO is going in this direction, especially after seeing the success Comedy Central has had with "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report," writes Korbelik in a story published Sunday on the newspaper's website.

As the column points out, though, viewership hits on YouTube.com don't always equate to strong ratings from Nielsen Media Research.

"We believe in what we're doing," KXVO Producer Taylor Stein says in the article. "It's something new and different. But in the end, it's a business. If we don't produce ratings, we know we won't be able to carry out the goals we have."

Editor's Note: In the most recent (November 2006) Nielsen ratings, KXVO did not register enough viewers to garner a ratings point.

Thanks for chiming in KXVO employees. We know that you think its funny. However, most people who turn the dial don't. Good luck trying to syndicate.
