I edited out the CNBC since they are primarily a Financial network and anyone with less then a 0.2 share for viewers

Wouldn't it be a kick if Lou Dobbs went over to FOX?

Thanks for posting this Johnnie! ;*)
I think Brit would do better if he was on later.

Wow. If I'm reading this correctly LarryKing...LARRY KING fer Lord's sake!...kis the highest rated segment on CNN!

Also note that a now show for Glenn Beck although he may be too new to show. I wouldn't be surprised if he crashes and burns though. He's spread himself too thin IMO.

You are correct. Larry King is CNNs highest rated show.

So... the REPEAT of O'Reilly does better than ANYTHING CNN puts out?

Yeah, that is pretty cool! But O'reilly is on at a really ackward time. 5pm is when people are trying to get home, so I'd imagine the rerun numbers would be pretty high.

Cable still has such a teeny, tiny percent of viewers. I remember getting a call from Nielson asking if the network I was working for was "off the air" because it was only registering 2 million viewers...and that was daytime.

Wow Fox is killing them in every time slot. I'd only ever seen the prime time numbers. Fox is way ahead around the clock, and not just from 8-11PM.

We should flood email CNN - 'you guys can't even place above RE-RUNS of FNC shows?'

"I think Brit would do better if he was on later."

Yeah, we'll really know we're winning when Brit is at the top of the list.

Which is irrelevant because we are not comparing cable to anything BUT other cable shows. If you want to compare apples to oranges how about the fact that the Top 5 Conservative Talk Radio hosts reach more people each day then any of the nightly news casts?

From the looks of the ratings it seems Rita Cosby going to MSNBC was a good move for FNC.
