WBBM is on 30 years of bad luck, despite the steadily performing network prime time lineup and the dominant daytime lineup nationally, of which they've tried everything in the book from ultra-tabloidism to extremely serious journalism to no success. The problem's been that even with a aging-and-dying-off audience that would do this, ABC-owned WLS still has people who turn the station on during the early morning local news and leave it on until Kimmel, thanks to Oprah, Kelly Ripa (and three different co-hosts of "Live!"), "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel." ABC performs better in Chicago than many other cities, and although "Eyewitness News" has been number one all through this time, it's been mostly because of those CBS Television Distribution syndicated shows.
