Fox News Channel maintains a handsome lead in primetime and total day, while primetime runner-up CNN continues a healthy climb from the lows of 2012.



HLN's wall-to-wall coverage of the Jodi Arias trial has had substantial ratings legs. Surging around the time of the May 8 verdict, the network notched an extremely rare monthly victory: It topped MSNBC in total day and primetime. And with CNN posting its second consecutive month as a distant primetime runner-up to Fox News Channel, MSNBC is in a very precarious fourth place.


Averaging 539,000 viewers in primetime and 175,000 viewers in the adults 25-54 demographic, MSNBC suffered double-digit drops from last May -- down a respective 20 and 19 percent. Losses were less substantial in total day, down 10 percent to an average 346,000 viewers and down 7 percent to 115,000 adults 25-54, while all other nets pulled growth in multiple categories.

Personally, I can't wait until Fox is the only network permitted on broadcast, and Fox and the NFL Network are the only networks permitted on cable or satellite.

Yup. Intelligence doesn't sell in the US. Fox ratings prove the saying, "I don't repeat gossip, so listen carefully the first time."

Television, what a marvelous thing, too bad it's been misused eh. In days gone by you could rip the guts out and make a liquor cabinette, now plastic don't lend itself to the same drinking atmosphere as the finer grades of plywood. Is, int it odd that the talking heads are also plastic now. I much perferred to listen to the old wooden heads like Walter Crankwright.
