Yep, It's Still Ratings
/You can always tell when ratings rolls around….
It’s the time that talent announces they are retiring, or talk about some of the medical issues that they have gone through.
Here’s proof we are still in the book.
Tonight At 5:30 on @KIRO7Seattle I talk to Monique about my bypass surgery. The bottom line here, if you don’t feel well, SEE YOUR DOCTOR! You may not get a second chance. pic.twitter.com/EkZSvfa2gA

While talent often open up about some medical issues that they have gone through and get very personal during ratings.
When the same talent is let go, station management goes silent and says, “we don’t talk about personnel issues.”
You know, except for the ratings periods, when it might drive more eyeballs to our newscasts.
