The only "win" for Blitzer has been at 4pm ET and that was only by about 17,000 viewers, IOW within a 3-4% margin of error. Interesting that in their press release, CNN doesn't differentiate between the demo and total audience. In September Cavuto beat Wolf by more than 200,000 overall.

You are correct; they've mostly just been repeating AC for the 2nd hour. But I'm wondering when the Dobbs rerun at 11 p.m. will begin, if at all? Phebe, I worded my question wrong.

I'm surprised they didn't do this move sooner. It was so strangely scheduled before, with Blitzer on for 2 hours, off 1, then back on for 1 more. Brit Hume will probably go back to #1 in the demos for 6pm, and Dobbs might take a chunk out of Fox's demo viewers at 7pm. I agree, Missy. I’m surprised they didn’t do this move sooner.

There's already too much good (for conservatives) programming on at 6 p.m. ET - Brit Hume, Tucker, Cramer and Dobbs. So the 7 p.m. for Dobbs will be perfect, IMO. BTW, when is the 11 p.m. repeat of Dobbs to start? I thought someone posted here a few weeks ago that that was to occur, that AC was going back to just one hour. I think 7 p.m. is perfect.

(18 hours a week?!?!) Anyway, changing TSR to three consecutive hours is a logical choice. And I agree with Alison, Dobbs should be on at 8pm. Also, last time I checked prime time is 8pm - 11pm Eastern. Perhaps somebody needs to let Lou (who is sportin' a new grill, since he returned from "surgery") that 7pm isn't prime time.. at least not in my book. Wolf Blitzer is on the air way too much!
