KITV-4 and KHON-2 tied in first place for their ratings for the 5 p.m. news slot in the November Nielsen sweeps, released last week. Incorrect figures were announced in a story last Tuesday.

One rating point is approximately 3,827 households.

Both KITV and KGMB-9 reflected growth in their 5 p.m. news rankings compared to a year ago, as reflected in the ratings and in the stations' "share," or percentage of households watching TV that are tuned in to the stations' news programs. The original story incorrectly said that KGMB-9 was the only station with an increase in viewers.

KHON, which posts strong figures for its 6 p.m. newscast with Joe Moore, is tied for the top rating at 10 p.m. with KGMB. Both stations have earned a 9 rating at 10 p.m.
