Information About

Live At Five





:Other American television stations picked up the name through the 1980s, to varying degrees of success. For example, in Philadelphia , WCAU-TV 's "Live at 5" -- that market's first 5 p.m. newscast -- was so successful that the station rechristened its late news "Live at 11" using the 5 p.m. anchor team; the success was short-lived, though, once market-leader WPVI expanded its Action News broadcasts to the 5 p.m. hour.

  • With the possible exception of WNBC, one of the most popular instances of the Live at Five format was shown on the CTV network in Atlantic Canada . Its version of Live At 5 premiered in 1982 , after network executives became aware of WNBC's experiment and decided to copy it. The program continues to this day, staying true to the original format. CTV often boasts of a 51% ratings share for Live at 5 in a market of approximately 1.5 million. See Live At 5 (CTV) .
