Beck at 2 a.m. outdraws Olbermann at 10 p.m.

I preset this post to post at 2 a.m. I am in bed as this thing posts.

Not everyone is in bed at 2 a.m. Eastern time. 2 a.m. is when Glenn Beck’s 5 p.m. show is rerun on Fox News.

His 5 p.m. show is running neck and neck with Sean Hannity in the ratings as to who is the No. 2 show on all the cable news channels.

Last Thursday, he drew 3,222,000 viewers to his 5 p.m. show. It is boring to point out that this is more than triple the audiences of Keith Olbermann at 8 or Larry King at 9 — and they led their networks.

Comparing Beck at 2 a.m. to Olbermann at 10 p.m. is way more fun.

Fox News reruns Beck at 2 a.m. His rerun at 2 a.m. on Thursday drew 658,000 viewers.

The rerun of Olbermann’s show at 10 p.m. — prime time — drew 593,000 viewers.

In fact, at 2 a.m., Beck beat 9 of the 16 shows that his competitors had on from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Add the 11 p.m. shows and he was 13 for 20.

So not only has Beck made 5 p.m. a prime time hour for Fox News, he has made 2 a.m. an hour when he kicks the competition’s ass again.

TV by the Numbers posted his number for the week — and the Thursday numbers for everyone.

Lest we overlook the fact. Beck at 2am EDT is Beck at 11PM on the west coast.

Haha - maybe Gibbs should have invited Tapper to watch FNC at 2 AM instead of 5 PM to see the evil Glenn Beck.

Back in the day the shareholders would be up in arms over such dismal performance.

It’s owned by GE, who is in position to make hundereds of billions off of Obama and the Lefts “Green” & “Global Warming” rackets. One bunch of criminals helping another bunch of criminals rip all of *us* off, in many more ways than one.

I don’t see why people like Rush keep quoting Olbermann and
Matthews. Their ratings would go even further south if they ignored them.
