Variety: “FNC showed a rare weakness”
Ahhh how the media likes to poke at FNC at even the smallest crack.
But, Variety makes a good point: Fox dropped 6% in total audience; CNN gained 11% and MSNBC jumped 7%. Pope bump? Sure. But why did Fox drop with two big stories right in it’s target: Schiavo and the papal transition?
Also this:
Headline News appears to have ceded third place to MSNBC after a strong start and plenty of marketing power behind its revamped “Headline Prime” lineup.
In prime, FNC is up 1% — driven by amazing growth of “On the Record” — which jumped 25%. CNN is up 6% in primetime — again, fuled by one strong preformer: Anderson Cooper — with a 36% increase.
o yea, you’ll never see that headline at TV Newser, will ya? Instead he hides behind his “insiders.” I think his insiders is his own self.
