FOX NEWS BEATS BROADCAST NETS WITH RNC COVERAGE
Once again Fox News trounced the broadcast networks in the ratings for the Republican National Convention. While it also prevailed in 2004, its numbers on Wednesday night (9.2 million viewers) were nearly 20 percent higher than its closest broadcast rival, NBC (7.7 million). It was in fact the highest-rated convention rating in cable TV history. Meanwhile CNN's coverage (6.2 million) outpaced broadcast rivals ABC (5.9 million) and CBS (4.6 million) and cable's MSNBC (3.4 million). Nielsen observed that the number of viewers watching the three cable news networks rose 277 percent above the 2004 number.
