Bridge Collapse: Ratings…
FNC won the 25-54 Demo from 7-9pm. CNN won the 25-54 Demo from 9pm-3am. FNC had the most Total Viewers from 7pm-11pm. CNN had the most Total Viewers from 11pm-3am. Obviously viewership declined among all the networks as the night wore on…
(ratings based on Live+SD 3am-3am numbers)
UPDATE: More ratings information
8-11pm Primetime Ratings (numbers are Live)
FNC - 3,288,000 viewers (1,021,000)
CNN 2,446,000 viewers (1,009,000)
MSNBC 965,000 viewers (465,000)
FNC peaked with 3,743,000 viewers in the 8pm hour, where Shepard Smith anchored, pre-empting The O’Reilly Factor.
Ratings from the 7:30 start of the disaster coverage (numbers are Live)…
7:30-11pm
FNC - 3,087,000 (955,000)
CNN - 2,226,000 (915,000)
MSNBC - 894,000 (423,000)
I was checking out the hourly breakdown at TVN…looks like Paula botched things up for CNN, otherwise they probably would have won the night in the demo and total viewers with ease.

Its close but it looks like FOX may be about to take over the “Breaking News” station to watch. That was CNNs last claim to fame.
