"To say that May was a good month at CBS 5 would be an understatement. Our news broadcasts at Noon, 5pm, 6pm and 11pm all showed rating increases over last year as did Eye on the Bay which was up over 30% at 7pm. CBS prime time was #1 for the month and up over last May and the late fringe combo of Letterman and Ferguson also enjoyed double digit growth over last year. Judge Judy was up big time at 4p and 7:30p; in fact it is hard to find any day part where we didn't increase our ratings. That's a very good month!" said Ron Longinotti, President and GM of CBS 5.
