Despite fielding a prime time lineup made up almost entirely of sub hosts (except Alan Colmes who apparently drew the short straw and had to work), FOX still dominated the evening nearly 3:1 over CNN. Grace beat Zahn…er…I mean Grace beat CNN Presents which stood in for Zahn. Deutsch double scratched for the evening. Connected scratched in the afternoon.

Great Caesar's Ghost! FOX is larger than the rest combined.
Deutsch — 77,000
How low can he go before he gets an * ?
Deutsch doing worse than Conan repeats. Funny.
Go FNC ~ Bump!
Umm... not quite. (FNN = 955,000, The rest = 996,000) Adding machine on the fritz? ;-)
Have you ever seen the Deutsch show? He's horrible! One of the worst interviewers that I've ever seen. He deserves the basement ratings. Not long for TV land!!!
How does CNBC justify an elctricity bill?
"Moneyline" hasn't been a show for at least a year; it's now called "Lou Dobbs Tonight," and the format is completely different.
Foxnews appears to be solidly kicking ass!
You're correct but usually they do have more viewers than the others combined.
I'm curious, is it pronounced /doosh/?
They did it in the Primetime ratings, but none of the others. Of course, there will be small bumps along the way to oblivion for Fox's competitors. :-)
This is very interesting. I didn't realize that CNN was still on....
Great show. If CBS news were to hire say Brit Hume, I might actually watch the evening network news again. Of course, he'd be missed on special report.
Why are so many people still watching O'Reilly???????????
Lou Dobbs is awesome.
He's lookin out for us.
