NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams won the 2007 November sweep period in total viewers and viewers in the key 25-54 demo, barely beating out ABC World News with Charles Gibson.
NBC Nightly News held a 100,000-viewer lead over ABC World News in total viewers and a 20,000-viewer lead in the key demo. The numbers for total viewers and demo viewers were the closest they have been in a sweeps period since 2001 and 1996, respectively.
The sweeps win by NBC continues a seesaw ratings race that has been going on since early this year, when ABC World News overtook longtime evening news leader NBC Nightly News in both demo and total viewers.
The sweeps ratings are below:
• NBC Nightly News: 9.21 million total viewers, 2.3 rating/9 share, 2.79 million viewers in the key demo.
• ABC World News: 9.11 million total viewers, 2.2 rating/9 share, 2.77 million viewers in the key demo.
• CBS Evening News with Katie Couric: 6.74 million total viewers, 1.7 rating/6 share, 2.08 million viewers in the key demo.
Can’t take either one.
For a woman of 50, she has a really nice butt. Great legs, too. Without taking a position on her politics, her journalistic acumen or her ability to get ratings, I'll just say as an almost-40 guy, that given the chance I would hit that.
Pics anybody?
No supermodel, but not too shabby.
This is like saying Goebbel’s propaganda ministry is slightly more popular than communist Pravda or Mao’s People’s Daily.
Of the three major network evening news casts, ABC with Charlie Gibson is my preference. Having said that, what I've noticed ABC evening news has become increasingly preoccupied with medical news segments ... to the extent that some evenings a third of the news cast is devoted to this subject. Also, under Charlie Gibson the ABC evening news is more and more resembling GMA ... in fact, I've started referring to the ABC evening news as GMA north.
