Why is that OT?? The Everglades is one of my favorite camping areas.

So tell us why FOX NEWS came out of nowhere and now is eating everyone's
lunch.

How is it "eating lunch" when you are #2? Maybe you mean that FOX
is out to lunch. In a recent primetime hour, there were an estimated
529,000 people watching CNN, and 377,000 people watching Faux News.
CNN is the dominant player in cable news.

In a sign of just how dominant Fox News is in the cable news network
ratings game, the network easily won the rankings in the first quarter
of 2009, averaging more viewers than competitors MSNBC and CNN combined
? and in the process claimed nine of the top the program spots.

For the quarter, Fox News was the #2 cable channel in prime time,
averaging 2,250,000 total viewers (behind only the USA juggernaut, which
averaged 3,115,000 total viewers). CNN placed 17th with an average of
1,126,000 total viewers, while MSNBC placed 24th, with an average of
950,000 total viewers.

In total day ratings, Fox News ranked 5th among all cable channels in
total viewers, while CNN placed 14th and MSNBC placed 28th.

"The O'Reilly Factor" ? which in March celebrated its 100th consecutive
month as cable news' top-rated show ? was the #1 cable news program in
Q1, averaging 3.4 million total viewers, a 27% increase over a year ago.
Rounding out the top five were "Hannity" (up 36% over Q1 2008), "Glenn
Beck" (up 90%), "Special Report with Bret Baier" (up 39%), and "On the
Record with Greta Van Susteren" (up 26%). MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith
Olbermann," which came in tenth with 1.3 million total viewers, was the
only non-Fox News show to crack the top ten.

The top ten programs for Q1 are listed below ? incidentally, the same
order held for March 2009.

Top 10 Cable News Programs, Q1 2009 (by total viewers)
1. The O'Reilly Factor: 3,438,000 total viewers

Tough titty, John, but as usual you are full of ***.

The numbers I posted were audited numbers. They don't like, unlike
you seem to do all the time. And I thought we were talking about
news, not entertainment programs. You didn't list a single news
program in your list. And no, hate talk doesn't count as news out
here in the real world.
