Ratings are all over the place. So FNF is back to it’s regular ratings? Has the bleeding stopped? and what happened to American Morning? Looks like Dobermann is back down in the gutter. He needs to rachet up more GWB, Rumsfeld, Cheney commentary lol. Also why is CNBC still tolerating that Donnie Deutsch. Dump the guy and put in Micheal Savage lol. He’ll probably deliver the highest ratings for CNBC.

Question for Spud - what hours are considered “prime-time”? I would assume it would be 8:00 - 11:00, but does that mean that the ratings for anything prior to 8:00 PM below would be considered “total day”? I’ve just always wondered what numbers actually comprised the “total day” number vs. “primetime”. Thanks for the info

#1…interesting fact: I was looking at a spreadsheet, and TBI’s monthly average has increased almost every month for over a year now…still low, but pretty darn encouraging IMO.

Nancy Grace should kill people more often. Her ratings were incredibly high during the “Nancy interrogates woman, woman commits suicide” controversy.

Good question EMWTK. Another: do you and TVNewser use the same times for prime-time stats? I believe “total-day” means all 24 hours EMWTK.
And Jackie, this has been discussed; you must have blinked. No bump for the suicide. Note her #s for a full month before to a full month after. No bump.

Actually “total day” goes from 6am to 12am ET.
Primetime goes from 8pm to 11pm ET, from calculations I’ve done with a calculator…
