The numbers always end with 11pm, but the 12 midnight programs run at 9pm here on the west coast, the middle of prime time, so I think that was his point in raising the issue. And on the east coast, I would guess there are many in the 18-49 demo who watch Stewart/Colbert then turn to MSNBC.

Wow, who did King have on last night? Those are extraordinarly weak numbers for him.

Just another overwhelming FNC win! An auspicious tribute to the genius of Roger Ailes on the 10th anniversary of the launching of Fox News.

“Just another overwhelming FNC win! An auspicious tribute to the genius of Roger Ailes on the 10th anniversary of the launching of Fox News.”
Duh! *slap face* I Just This Minute figured it out!
RGL is Roger Ailes. Suddenly it all makes sense.
