KUSA-Channel 9 continues to dominate local news ratings, according to Nielsen figures for October released Wednesday.
KUSA placed first in every newscast from morning to late night.
“The Oprah Winfrey Show,” which moved from KMGH- Channel 7 to KCNC-Channel 4 in May, proved potent, lifting KCNC to a 4.9 rating and a 13 share, a virtual dead heat with KUSA’s news at 4 p.m.
The new “9News at 9” on KTVD-Channel 20, on the air less than two months, posted a 2.7 rating with a 4 share, behind both KDVR-Channel 31 and KWGN-Channel 2, which had a 3.6/6.

6 a.m. – KUSA, 6. 1/23; KCNC, 2. 1/8; KMGH, 2.0/8; “Good Day Colorado” (KDVR), 1.3/5; KWGN, 1.3/5.
