Local TV news saw a significant bump in viewership Monday during coverage of the Angora fire in South Lake Tahoe. But, as almost always in breaking-news situations, Channel 3 (KCRA) dominated.
According to numbers compiled by Nielsen Media Research, KCRA was especially strong at 6 p.m., when its share (see below) nearly tripled that of the next-highest station, Channel 13 (KOVR).
