With more than 1 million Puerto Ricans living in New York, several stations in the NYC market have sent reporters to cover Hurricane Maria. WPIX, WABC, WCBS, WNYW all had boots on the ground as the storm lashed the island on Wednesday.
An average of 582,000 people watched the five-hour race broadcast, 66% more than watched the last marathon in 2011, and topping the previous record year of 2010 when the Chilean miners raced.
The New York ABC O&O plans to add a local news hour. Also affecting the station will be Regis Philbin’s departure from the syndicated hit Live with Regis and Kelly that WABC airs at 9 a.m., although his exit is being pushed back from August to November.
