The comment section is eerily quiet. I wonder if the bluster hasn’t come out of some sails.

I understand that FOX is the noise leader, and that they will be for a while (nothing changes over night). However, I guess its hard to be excited when you get 1% growth all day, 8% prime time M-Su, and 6% prime time M-F.

Just remember, everything is cyclical; what is hot one day isn’t the next, but will be again.

Percentages are meaningless. You have 5 viewers, add 5 more, and your ratings have increased 100%.

Look at the Prime Time Mon-Fri Demo numbers. MSNBC may have gone up 40%, while CNN only went up 23%, and FNC went up just 15%. But FNC gained the most viewers.
