- Yeah, but you are leaving out the best stuff. The station that had the huge
- jump in ratings is not really a direct competitor. It's a Spanish station and
- it was typically the lowest rated station until this big leap!
-
- The other thing is that Mark & Brian did not capture any of the ratings that
- Howard lost. You'd think his competition would take some of his ratings, not
- a Spanish station!
-
- Sounds like Howard might actually have a right to whine about this one.
