For a few brief quarter-hours,

LOL!! Drudge is pulling your leg!

Neilsen doesn't measure "quarter-hours."

Drudge hates FOXNEWS so much for firing his ass, he's now making stuff up!

Interesting theory. But, I seem to recall Drudge was among the first to shout the news about Fox News Channel's rise to the top of the ratings, and that was long after they fired him. So, although I'd like to think you're right, I'm not convinced.

I don't know what Neilsen reports to its clients, but we are a Neilson family and we were told that after any station is on after two minutes, it is recorded. That allows for channel changing.

I don't know how Nielsen reports their results, but they do have the capacity to measure quarter-hours. I filled out their weekly survey once late last year, and the time designations in the response booklet were broken out in quarter-hour increments.
