Action News is Jacksonville’s #1 Late Local News

At the heart of CBS47’s strong programming are Jacksonville’s fastest-growing local newscasts. 

Action News this Morning is the fastest growing morning news program in Jacksonville, showing dramatic growth from May 2011-May 2012.  Action News at Noon is a runaway #1, out delivering WJXX and WTLV and WJXT.  Action News at 5pm grew 55% percent from 2011 to 2012, out delivering WJXX and WTLV.  Action News at 5:30pm is the only local newscast in its time period to show growth from year to year.  In fact, Action News topped WTLV and WJXX in the early news daypart, Monday-Friday 5-6:30pm!

The crown jewel of Action News is still the 11pm newscast.  Action News at 11 is Jacksonville’s #1 late newscast Monday-Sunday and Monday-Friday.  The Action News and First Alert Weather teams are Jacksonville’s first choice for weather, breaking news, and sports.  Action News at 11 surpassed every other late newscast in Jacksonville, including WJXX, WTLV and WJXT.

There is also great news to report for FOX30.  American Idol is Jacksonville’s #1 rated reality series, and FOX30’s highest-rated primetime show.  Every week, Idol reaches 50,000 more households than competitors like The Voice and America’s Got Talent.

Action News at 10 pm on FOX30 is also enjoying major success.  In fact, Action News at 10 pm is the only late local newscast in the time period to show growth Monday to Friday from February to now.  Combined, Action News at 10 pm on FOX30 and Action News at 11 on CBS47 are the most-watched local newscasts in Jacksonville.

Thank you, Jacksonville, for trusting Action News to bring you weather, news, and breaking news!  We’re going to continue delivering quality programming and top-notch news.
