"9News has launched many newscasts and products to provide our viewers with more choices and as a result we have consistently been the place that Coloradoans choose to get their news," said 9NEWS President and General Manager Mark Cornetta. "On KUSA-TV, KTVD-TV, 9News Weather Plus, 9News.com and m.9NEWS.com, 9News is the place to be for what's happening in Colorado. We also want to thank our viewers for making us their source for news and information and for helping to donate over 195 tons of food at our 9Cares Colorado Shares food drive."

This month, several in-depth investigative stories by the 9Wants to Know team and the 9NEWS Fraud Squad, plus a week long series on the dangers of lead-contaminated products made 9NEWS at 10 p.m. must see TV. The newscast with Adele Arakawa, Bob Kendrick, Kathy Sabine and Drew Soicher was number one in Colorado with a 17 share. The 9NEWS Late News product received a 21 share, when you combine 9NEWS at 9PM (4 share) and 9NEWS at 10 (17 share).

Figures released by Nielsen from October's ratings period showed that 9NEWS had a strong lead in the all-important 18 to 54 year old demographics. Cornetta says he expects similar results in November. "I am confident that we will win all of the key demographics when those numbers are released next month."





9NEWS isn't just Colorado's choice on TV. A report of Internet activity in October shows that 9NEWS.com is #1 online. More than 20 percent of Colorado web users picked 9NEWS.com for the latest news, weather, and sports. Channel 7 was the closest television website with only 7 percent. Neither the Denver Post nor the Rocky Mountain News received more than 10 percent of the web hits in October.
