Monday’s Numbers…
Countdown flat out beat Paula Zahn Now in both the P2+ and P 25-54 categories, coming in 2nd for the hour behind O’Reilly. I’m not sure but I think it may be the highest P2 number the show has turned in this year on a non-breaking news day. But that big number wasn’t enough to prevent HLN from beating MSNBC in primetime…

Oh, and funny how Big O was so strong, yet HLN beat them BOTH in the PT 2+ and demo numbers…

HLN “beat” who? Looks to me like this was only the first or second night since Nancy turned “all-suicide-all-the-time” that KO has “beaten” her. And 300,000 in the demo looks to be more than anything on CNN except Larry & Oprah & friends.

Anonymous, Go back and look at your #s. Big O O’Reilly and Big O Olbermann took #s 1 and 2 in their slots. HLN did NOT “beat them BOTH in the PT 2+ and demo numbers..”

Maybe Anonymous (poster #2) meant to say that Glenn Beck’s two showings (in 000): 371+437=808 total; 139+175=314 demo viewers beat Olbermann’s 679 total/300 demo viewers?

What’s the point besides wasting our time?
