What’s the most popular brand of horse drawn carriage? That would also be an interesting statistic.
Brian Williams may be Number One today, but he’s no Chet Huntley.
He’s the only one I can stomach but even then I still throw-up in my mouth while watching.
“Fox News places first in February cable news; MSNBC ranks second in prime time; No. 3 CNN trumpets its growth”
“Fox News Channel was the favorite in cable news during the February ratings period.
In prime time, Fox News averaged 1.91 million viewers, far outpacing MSNBC with 841,000, CNN with 673,000 and HLN with 348,000.
Most of the channels were down from last Feburary, when Fox News averaged 2.2 million viewers, MSNBC had 935,000 and HLN drew 495,000. Yet CNN was up from a year ago, when it averaged 534,000 in prime time.
In the 25-to-54 age group this February, Fox News was again the favorite with 461,000 viewers to MSNBC’s 258,000, CNN’s 215,000 and HLN’s 111,000.”
I hear you...
Yikes...
Nine point three million out of - what - 330 million, not counting the illegals. Oh-kay! Add in O’Bloviator’s 8 million, and you get the 17 million people in the U.S. who are hearing what propaganda, outrages and cover-ups are currently masquerading as news. As for what is really going on, no-one can know.
The bad news is there are 15,000,000 brain dead viewers
Exactly
...and I know some of them.
Giesha Shep-—That is priceless!!
Ole Shep is floating in his loafers getting to cover his second Katrina.
24,000,000 people watching the Big 3. That’s actually a pretty impressive number. It’s about 10X or so what the Biggies on Fox draw in any one hour. The MSM isn’t dead yet.
No they aren't...
Not too long ago, these three each had over 15 million viewers.
So, 9,000,000 divided by five nights = 2,200,000 per day.
Right in the nightly range of Fox.
I may be mistaken...
“...“Nightly” has now delivered over 9 million total viewers for 17 consecutive weeks...”
You may be right.
Brian Williams makes a good and witty interview when I;ve heard radio guys talk to him, but ultimately he has all the wrong biases.
And I think his viewership watches him only out of some perverse fascination with his long, slanted-to-one-side nose.
The network numbers are total weekly views, the cable numbers are total daily numbers. Multiply Fox’s numbers by 7 then compare.
