Nick Fish Show now beating national shows
Willamette Week reports that CW-32's Outlook Portland with Nick Fish -- the only remaining weekly local public-affairs in Portland -- is beating most of the national public-affairs shows in the Portland media market.
Ex-City Council candidate Nick Fish has soared to the top of the local talk-fest ratings . Fish's Outlook Portland with Nick Fish (KRCW, cable channel 3) outdraws Larry King, Anderson Cooper and most other nationally broadcast public-affairs programs in the Portland area, according to recent Nielsen ratings. (Only Hannity & Colmes and The O'Reilly Factor outdrew Fish.) Starting in July, Outlook Portland will move from its 6:30 am Sunday slot to 9 am Sunday.
This Sunday, the show will feature a debate about local ballot measure 26-92, which would reform the Portland Development Commission.

The show's a bit uneven --it really depends on the guests-- but I haven't missed one thanks to TIVO. My favorites are when Nigel and Anna are on. Nick's interviewing style, by design, isn't terribly aggressive...but he's able to tease out some informative stuff.

Nick, and the local independent news are among the biggest reasons I miss cable!
