Fox News Beats All Rivals - combined

Story.

According to Nielsen Media Research, Fox News averaged 1.8 million viewers, while CNN, MSNBC, CNBC and Headline News averaged a combined total of 1.7 million. The quarter ended Sunday.

CNN got 882,000 viewers on average, in second place. Last place goes to CNBC and it's record-breakingly low viewership, with some primetime episodes of McEnroe recieving only 20,000 viewers. Has anyone else reading this ever heard of McEnroe?
For comparison, O'Reilly's interview with Bush recieved 4.6 million viewers. O'Reilly remains the #1 news program, but is only one of Fox's nine programs in the top 10. The non-Fox program is CNN's Larry King Live, at #6.

Congratulations to Fox. I hate their obsesive hurricane coverage, but they know how to attract an audience.
