"But he said while answering questions from the Television Critics Association that ratings don't tell the whole story."

Such as CNN is force fed to all airline passengers in all terminals. Fox is however nowhere to be found.

CNN Sux.

They did not disclose the number based on availability of FNC. CNN still has a monopoly in hotels and businesses. To truly compare apples and apples the report should disclose the percentage of viewership in markets where both CNN and FNC are available.

I am so sick of CNN on airport TV's. We should print up stickers that say WE WANT FOX NEWS! and slap one across every monitor.

Is Fox beating CNN straight up even though Fox is available in far fewer homes than CNN?

Yes.

[gathersnomoss]

I'll bet if Fox made them available through an on line source you would see them pop up everywhere. Hint...hint.

I would be more than happy to help the cause.

Agreed gather,

I don't know how many public places I've been at where at least one person asks, "Can we switch this to FOX?" ...and you hear many people come out of their shells and say "Yeah, I can't stand watching CNN, let's change this"

MSNBC usually ends up on, because few public buildings have FOX news on their subscription.

They did not disclose the number based on availability of FNC. CNN still has a monopoly in hotels and businesses.

And Fox is still beating them.

Works for me.
