FOXNEWS BEATS BROADCAST NETWORKS FOR TUESDAY NIGHT COVERAGE OF CONVENTION -- HISTORIC UNPRECEDENTED NUMBERS FOR CABLE
10-11PM
FOXNEWS -- 5.2 MILLION
NBC -- 5.1 MILLION
CBS -- 4.4 MILLION
ABC -- 4.3 MILLION
MSNBC -- 1.6 MILLION
CNN -- 1.5 MILLION
Arnold goes yard.
When CNN got cranked up back around 1980, many of us in DC referred to it as "Chicken Noodle News". Really rotten numbers for them. Good. They deserve'em!
I bet the alphabet networks are kicking themselves in the ass for not airing Monday night's speeches by Rudy and McCain.
Are these numbers (network vs. cable) unprecedented?
Has FoxNews ever recieved such numbers before?
C-Span has the best coverage, no talking heads yelling over the convention speakers.
It is high! It is far! It isssssssssss .... OUT OF HERE!
Just as telling as FoxNews being #1 over the traditional networks is this ranking:
MSNBC -- 1.6 MILLION
CNN -- 1.5 MILLION
No, to my knowlege Fox or any other cable show for that matter has never topped broadcast TV in prime time
We watched CSPAN for the reasons you mentioned.
So long Dan, Peter and Tom. Wish we'd hardly knew ye, but your commie reign is coming to an end.
I can't wait to see the numbers for last night. Of course CBS won't be in the mix since they didn't air it. I love it that Fox is kicking butt! We spent time viewing Cspan too when the talking heads got unbearable.
I watch the convention on C-SPAN. No annoying talking head opinions that way.
If you don't like interruptions, try the web.

Wow!
Turn out the lights, the party's over (for Kerry and his alphabet network minions).
How does this compare to the ratings for the Dim Convention?
I've probably just missed it, but has anyone got the raw numbers for the RNC vs. the DNC so far?
