H&C still put a pretty significant beatdown on Larry King.
OUCH…Dan Abrams beat LKL in the demo last night (again).
8PM – P2+ (25-54)
The O’Reilly Factor- 2,892,000 viewers (686,000)’
That was last night. BO has been bringing around 4M per night pretty consistently. I doubt last night would be considered an erosion. Olbermann was down as well.
FOX News has an edge on CNN. LOL.
H&C usually drops 500k or 600k from The Factor. Not anything to unusual. Although only 1 in 6 of those 1.58 million viewers was in the money demo, thats an ouch and a worrisome trend for Fox. Olbermann's Countdown has moved to an average of 1.2 million and continues his young demo growth. O'Reilly was down from Monday but it's expected after such a big audience (2.8 mil on Monday). Greta got beat again in the DEMO.
