CBS mocks conservatives (their ratings higher than ever)
10-29-04 | me

Posted on 10/28/2004 9:56:16 PM PDT by soccer_linux_mozilla

Today I overhead 2 guys sitting in front of me on a flight. They basically said that conservative threats of a CBS boycott are a joke. They said CBS has 3 of the top 5 rates shows.

I went to Nielsen to see if this is true. Here is what I found.

Rank* Program

Network

Household Rating**

Total Viewers*** 1 FOX MLB ALCS Game 7(S) FOX 19.4 31,460,000 2 CSI CBS 16.8 26,541,000 3 FOX WORLD SERIES GAME 2 (S) FOX 15.9 25,463,000 4 FOX MLB ALCS GAME 6 (S) FOX 15.6 25,088,000 5 FOX WORLD SERIES GAME 1(S) FOX 13.7 23,168,000 6 DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES ABC 13.4 21,494,000 7 FOX MLB NLCS GAME 7(S) FOX 13.0 19,808,000 8 WITHOUT A TRACE CBS 12.6 18,493,000 8 CSI: MIAMI CBS 12.6 19,807,000 10 FOX WORLD SERIES GAME 2-PRE(S) FOX 11.5 17,916,000

Indeed, in you don't count the MLB games, CBS has 3 of the top 4 shows.

:(

You can still watch the shows, and boycott the advertisers.

CBS needs to lose its license and be shut down.

If it weren't for CSI, CBS would be SOL.

They weren't bragging about the ratings for SeeBS Evening News with Dan Rather, though...

I've never heard about conservatives boycotting the entire CBS lineup (which I never would -- "CSI" rules!). But it's been widely publicized that the ratings for CBS News ratings are lower than ever now.

Their news division is going down the tubes.

CSI and dan rather are two different things.

CBS and CBS news different. What share of the viewers does CBS news have?

The rest of the network does fine, but the only time their news division 'shines' ratings-wise is with Sunday's 60 Minutes. Their evening news coverage is the lowest rated of the 'Big Three' and even cable news (Fox) beats them from time to time.

Well, people like CSI, and they like Raymond and King of Queens and the other CBS comedies. Especially Two and a Half Men. That's the best comedy currently in production. Or at least I say so. I mean, it's no Seinfeld, but what is? Anyways, I digress...

Most people don't care. They're not hyper-political. But when it comes to news, people are tuning out CBS. And not just because of a conservative boycott. People just inherently know when they're being sold a bill of goods.
