Wow…CNN and HLN had a really good night, especially for a Friday (where MSNBC tends to beat them). Glenn’s numbers look especially good…what was he talking about?

1. - Glenn Beck spent the whole hour with “Dog the Bounty Hunter”. Well, I think it went the whole hour. I didn’t watch more than 5 minutes.
Special Report was with Jim Angle. Although I’m way past the demo I watched Dobbs.

I’m just pleased PZ beat Olbermann in the demo. Am I the only one who watches her regularly?
Comment by lightswitch — June 4, 2007 @ 7:49 pm
No I watch PZ as well…despite what others say, I like her “Out in the Open” format…beats the same old, same old repetition of the daily news.

Fox and Friends #1 in demo in all of cable news!
Comment by Jack Lewis — June 4, 2007 @ 8:19 pm
F&F is approaching the one million mark. Who’d'a thunk it?
Sorry LS. PZ’s other viewer wishes to remain Anonymous.

haha. Damn!

Fnc is still #1 and msnbc is still #3. When will you learn. You can be told your house is on fire and you would say, “Where, all I see is smoke”.

#9…I think it’s due to Alisyn C’s. F&F First lead in. It’s the only show that had solid gains in May.

wow. Beck at 7pm almost beat Fox News in the demo.. his demo ratings were really high. even thought I hate the guy, I’ll give him props for a good ratings day (even though its more a result of having the Dog on his show.)
