Thursday’s Numbers…
Ok I’m late getting these up (I started the three day weekend a wee bit early). FOX won the night (surprise!), the day, and everything in between. The FOX Report’s demo beat Anderson Cooper 360’s total viewer number. Nancy Grace beat Paula which isn’t all that surprising until you see that Paula pulled in 700,000 viewers and she still lost to Nancy. What was in the water at 8 pm anyways? Even Olbermann had nearly 400,000. MSNBC rebounded from Wednesday’s near free fall in daytime to put CNBC back in 5th place again.

And this is like the 3rd time this week that Nancy beat Paula. I thought Jon De-Cline said that HLN wouldn’t beat CNN.

I think Olbermann’s ratings were up a bit because O’Reilly wasn’t hosting Thursday night. Even so, the Tony Snow Factor still pulled in big numbers.

Are you kidding? Step back from this one and look at it again…The O’Reilly Factor had over 2.5 million viewers and Olbermann comes in far behind both Grace and Zahn with less than 400,000 viewers? Olbermann continues to be an embarrassment to MSNBC.

The Situation looks pathetic.

Nearly 400,000 viewers is nothing to sneeze at for Olberman considering he usually pulls in about 2/3 that number.

It is sad, though… 400,000 viewers, and that’s a GREAT night for a MSNBC program.
