Debate #'s: FNC 7.1, CNN 3.4, MSNBC 1.7 Mil During the debate, FNC averaged 7,089,000 viewers, CNN delivered 3,376,000 and MSNBC had 1,709,000. (The two MSNBC's = one CNN and two CNN's = one FNC formula is back in effect.) For Fox, that's a 257% increase over the same debate in 2000. (It's a 85% increase for MSNBC and 26% boost for CNN.)
Once again, MSNBC's ratings improved after the debate: The network averaged 2,185,000 viewers between 10:37 and 11pm, a press release noted.
In primetime (8 to 11pm), FNC averaged 5,700,000 viewers, while CNN had 2,597,000 and MSNBC had 1,427,000.
> "During the 90-plus-minutes debate, NBC was the leading broadcast network choice with 12.3 million viewers, followed by ABC (10.3 million), CBS (8.1 million) and Fox (3.8 million)," TV Week reports.
seeBS still in 3rd among the alphabets, I see.
A lot more people watched it then I thought.
ABC needs to suffer.....I HATE they were number 1 WHEN on the eve of the debate that CROOK News guy of theirs sent out the email about helping Kerry....
I've written about everyone I know to write, doesnt do any good.....John Gibson said they havent even addressed it nor do they seem to care that it shows bias
Big bump for FoxNews Channel.
I normally like the "Fox All Stars," but they stunk it up on Friday.
This is not necessarily good news, as Bill Kristol and crew apparently were in collusion with the alphabet soup networks with their after debate comments. Fox bagged on Bush, the other cable news channels compilmented Bush. I swear the networks reported the winner of the debate the exact opposite of what you would from their organization. It seemed like everyone wanted throw the sheeple off the track of recent complaints about their lack of fair and balanced reporting.
Answer to my cross word puzzle is:
I swear the networks reported the winner of the debate the exact opposite of what you would "EXPECT" from their organizations.
yep I guess.....lots of folks posted that MSNBC had good even coverage afterwards....its tiresome I swear that we cant count on any news organization these days for any kind of truthful reporting.....
I can remember when CNN laughed at Fox as they entered the market. Who's laughing now??
FNC is getting the lefties in droves. That is their target market and we who made FNC the beacon of fairness have been kicked to the curb.
What debate are these numbers for? They look like the numbers from the first debate.
Total views looks to be about 47 mil, is that correct?
