  1. Paula Zahn Now - 701,000 viewers (197,000)

    Poor Paula, what happened to all of the demos?

  2. This is the remarkable number:
    Larry King Live – 1,057,000 viewers (192,000)

    Less than one FIFTH of his audience is demo viewers?

  3. I’m not a big Larry King fan; but to be fair, most of the news programs (broadcast and cable) skew toward older audiences. That might be a good weekend question; Why younger viewers rarely watch the news and what can be done about it.

  4. King usually does better in the demo. His #s fluctuate more than anyone else’s depending on who he has on. One of the nights last week had big war news, and he had John Walsh; was that this night?
