The District’s Fox affiliate, WTTG, enjoyed a strong July in the capital (market No. 9), with their news coverage finishing first in the market. This caps a run of several months of the station’s local coverage finishing at number one.
WTTG Fox 5 news finished July in the top spot at 5 a.m., 6 a.m., 7 a.m., 9 a.m., 10 a.m., 5 p.m., 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. among adults ages 25-54. The affiliate’s 6 p.m. newscast finished number 2 in the time slot among the same demographic, as did its 6:30 p.m. coverage when measured against national newscasts.
July also saw an increase for WDCA, Fox 5 Plus, among adults over 35 and overall households compared to the July 2016 period.
