So far during prime time (through Wednesday's ratings), FNC is averaging 2,495,000 Total Viewers, well ahead of CNN's 1,254,000 and MSNBC's 984,000 combined. In the A25-54 demo, FNC is #1 with 539,000 compared to CNN's 388,000 and MSNBC's 357,000.
FNC is up 23% Total Viewers and 28% in the A25-54 demo in prime time from the two weeks prior to the Inauguration of Obama to the two weeks since. CNN is up 5% in Total Viewers and 4% in the demo and MSNBC is down 1% in Total Viewers and 1% in the demo.
So basically all the dicksucking going on at MSNBC is intolerable to even their core audiences. Really I can't watch Matthews/Olbermann/Maddow for more than 5 minutes without wanting to chuck my remote at the tv. Its not that they spout propoganda for Obama, it's that they do it in the guise that its fact and cannot be debated. Rip FNC all you want but I can't remember the last time MSNBC's primetime duo (Olbermann/Maddow) put on people they disagree with. Glenn Beck was a major coup for Fox also, his show is hilarous and serious all at the same time. It's the one outlet I have to know journalism isn't totally dead in this country, granted it's on life support now but without the Fox News Channel to balance things out it would have been 6 feet under on election night.
Oh and here's a fun little graph that shows O'Reilly (not my favorite mind you) vs. Olbermann since 1/20/09
