WCAU (Philly) had both the Super Bowl and the Olympics and it goosed the station's ratings quite a bit.

The NBC O&O saw the ratings go up by as much as 73%, but they still could not knock off WPVI when it came to local news.

WPVI's the 6 and 11 p.m. Action News broadcasts, anchored by Jim Gardner (pictured), handily defeated the competition, including WCAU, which enjoyed terrific ratings thanks to its Olympics lead-in.

For February, WPVI at 6 pulled in an impressive 10 rating among adults 18 to 49 and averaged about 287,000 viewers, nearly tripling the 3.3 rating WCAU News garnered.

Eyewitness News on KYW finished third for the month, while Fox 29 News ended up a distant fourth.

There is no doubt when it comes to Philly, Jim Gardner and the gang at WPVI are the ratings champ.
