October Numbers…
With the October numbers now out, the first network to put forth its read on those numbers was CNN, which included three PDF files showing how well it did in October 2005 compared to October 2004 when compared to FNC. Two of those PDFs can be seen at TVNewser. Here’s the third, which covers all the networks in the year to year comparison….

One wonders how long before FNC responds to CNN’s appraisal of October.



Hey how come no one has commented on CNBC’s growth? Check out their total viewer numbers…they’re up quite a bit across the board…not bad for a network that everyone labels as “struggling”.

CNBC gets affixed with the “struggling” label because of the complete collapse in its ratings following the tech boom during the 90’s, which it has yet to recover from.

CNBC desn’t have any bloggers on their payroll!
That’s not a dig at you spud. you’re totally non-partisian.

What this shows me is that a lot of people were watching election coverage on cable the month before the elections.

Larry Kudlow’s program is doing exceptionally well, yet I’ve never seen it written about!

What this tells me is that CNN is holding steady or making gains while people are beginning to get bored by FNC and perhaps are finally starting to turn to “real news” channels.
