  1. KO still gets beat even without O’Reilly on untill later..which still got higher numbers.

  2. Cnn’s AM keeps losing in the Demo, coming in behind MSNBC and Headline News. Considering the frequent hosting changes made to AM, does anyone have a prediction as to how long the current pairing of Roberts/Chetry will continue?

  3. Spud, your P2 numbers for 10PM Debate are missing … or something. Looking at it though, it looks like TSR and Lou had a pretty strong evening, either nearing or surpassing FNC’s programming on at the same time.

  4. According to TVN, Prime News spanked The Big Story at 5pm in the demo. However, I believe yesterday Prime News played the OJ hearing for the entire 5pm hour.

  5. Good numbers for MSNBC when the debate wasnt even the major news story of the night

  6. H&C was on at 10; O’Reilly was on at 11.

  7. Randy: The results of the primary were called nearly precisely at 9pm ET, when the debate started so there was no reason why MSNBC would not get a big number.

    But what is more interesting is that their post debate coverage at 11pm was third in the demo so obviously MSNBC debate watchers weren’t waiting with baited breath to hear analysis from Matthews and Olbermann.

  8. I’m suprised the debate drew in so many viewers for MSNBC, i figured most people would just tune in to the other two networks who were focusing on the Michigan Primaries soley.

  9. No total viewers for 10 pm on MSNBC but there are key demo numbers? What’s up with that?
