CarolinaTiger 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 further, Buoyed by the Olympics and convention coverage, MSNBC saw the most growth in its primetime aud, up a hefty 55%. Fox News came in second in terms of growth, up 39%. CNN was up 19% and Headline News 17%. they ALL experienced growth! does that mean the network news types are losing viewers??? and, Fox News had nine of the 10 top programs during the third quarter, with O'Reilly remaining at No. 1, averaging 2.4 million viewers. The one exception was CNN's "Larry King Live," which was No. 6, averaging 1.3 million viewers. good ole larr...wonder how long it'll be before he comes over to fox.
