  1. Wow Fox really tends to lose the demo on the weekends…look at Sunday! eek

  2. Wow?

    The three networks were virtually even in the demo and Fox usually wins on most Sundays.

    For you foreigners; on Sunday the two NFL championship games got boxcar ratings basically leaving crumbs for everybody else.

  3. Thanks for the explanation Ira. Still doesn’t explain why CNN and MSNBC had double the demo viewers in prime time on Sunday… Unless you’re suggesting only FNC viewers watch NFL.

  4. ^ That’s the conclusion I reached from her thoughtful analysis (aka rambling).

    Even Saturday they came 2nd in the demo, despite the primaries.

  5. The Sunday evening demo for FNC may be low because a lot of people attend church services that night.

  6. 5-11PM That’s quite a spin

  7. F101: Thanks for your math. Actually with their doc block, MSNBC has won the demo on some Sundays.

    Potpourri: Not to sound blasphemous, but on Sunday night I think more people were watching football than attending church services.
