8PM - P2+ (25-54)
The O'Reilly Factor- 3,193,000 viewers (694,000)
CNN Election Center- 561,000 viewers (151,000)
Countdown w/Olbermann - 1,183,000 viewers (452,000)
Fast Money- 180,000 viewers (67,000)
Nancy Grace - 579,000 viewers (171,000)
Comments: The second part of the hyped "Hillary Interview" on The Factor pulled in a second strong night of ratings for the show. Although down nearly 400k total viewers from night one and 200K plus in the Adult 25-54 demo night to night, the performance proves that although Fox is trending down in the ratings, they are still number one.
Also of note is the performance of 'Countdown' at roughly 1.18 million and 452K demo. A strong second place that shows the former ESPN anchor is growing his audience still, despite the "Fox Delusionals" who insist it isn't happening I offer the evidence in hard numbers above.
Nancy Grace and the Campbell Brown lead 'Election Center' continue trail behind the competition and show no signs yet of growing significantly.
9 PM - P2+ (25-54)
Hannity & Colmes - 1,965,000 viewers (461,000)
Larry King - 1,036,000 viewers (158,000)
Verdict w/Dan Abrams - 656,000 viewers (218,000)
Deal or No Deal- 454,000 viewers (137,000)
Glenn Beck- 440,000 viewers (150,000)
Comments: 'Hannity & Colmes' continues to be the hottest performer this election cycle with it's audience up noticably in recent weeks and now averaging nearly two million viewers a night. Tabloid meets politics and you get the senior vote in droves. Roughly 1/4th of the audience is 25 to 54, not exactly something to write home about.
Also of note, Verdict w/Dan Abrams climbing considerably above it's average delivery to 650k. Considering it's in the same time slot as heavy hitters 'Larry King Live' and 'Hannity & Colmes' I think it's something to brag about. Verdict also took a second place in the DEMO for the hour.
Deal or No Deal on CNBC beats Glenn Beck. Interesting.
10 PM P2+ (25-54)
On the Record - 1,353,000 viewers (334,000)
Anderson Cooper- 1,078,000 viewers (258,000)
Countdown w/Olbermann - 570,000 viewers (250,000)
Donny Deutsch- 59,000 viewers (27,000)
Nancy Grace - 451,000 viewers (204,000)
Comments: Anderson Cooper continues his slow march towards Greta on Fox.Inching ever closer it appears. Having beaten her a number of times in the DEMO it would not surprise me to see him eventually over take 'On the Record'. Hey I can have my paranoid delusions too.
Note: In case it's not obvious the number on the left is total viewers, the number in parenthesis is 25-54 year old viewers.
