| CHANNEL SURFING KYW hopes it's landed dynamic duo for weekend Robin Rieger will join Ren Scott beginning Saturday. By LAURA NACHMAN Holy Hairspray! The new weekend evening anchor team on KYW-3 is Ren
and Robin. Robin Rieger will join Ren Scott beginning Saturday. Rieger,
who worked her way up from traffic reporter when she joined the station
in 1996, had been co-anchoring the morning news with Amy Caples since
Pat Ciarrocchi left for 5 p.m. land. Off the air, Rieger's sidekick is
Sixers play-by-play announcer Tom McGinnis. They were married in
September.
DAILY DOUBLE
"Jeopardy" will be in Philadelphia tomorrow and Saturday
searching for new contestants. Hopefuls will take a 50-question test and
if they answer 35 of the questions correctly, then they will play a mock
version of the game. Winners are eligible for one full year to appear on
the show.
A SCOOBY SNACK
Question: Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you? Answer: WB17 beginning
Monday at 3:30. The cartoon, which has enjoyed a renaissance thanks to
The Cartoon Network, will be sandwiched between "Pokemon" at 3
and 4 p.m. "Jackie Chan Adventures" follows at 4:30 p.m. A
big-screen version of "Scooby" with Freddie Prinze Jr. and
Sarah Michelle Gellar is set to hit theaters this year.
THEY LOVE A PARADE
WB17 strutted its stuff on New Year's Day as the ratings for the
Mummers Parade led all stations with an average 9.6 rating/16 share from
10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The parade rating peaked during the string band
performances at 4:45 p.m. with a 14.3 rating/24 share. Each rating point
equals 28,010 households.
On New Year's Eve, it was Channel 6 all the way as "Dick Clark's
New Year's Rockin' Eve" had a 26.5 rating/51 share at midnight.
Despite televising the Penn's Landing fireworks, NBC-10 was runner-up
with a 14 rating/27 share at midnight. KYW-3 and Fox-Philadelphia were
dateless with barely any viewers.
