Shirley Maclaine - Chanel No. 1

In the latest example of a basic cable television network drawing an audience matching in size many broadcast networks', the female-oriented Lifetime channel drew 5.2 million viewers for its original movie, Coco Chanel , starring Shirley Maclaine on Saturday beginning at 9 00 p.m. (A repeat at 11 00 p.m. delivered an additional 2.2 million viewers.) On broadcast TV Saturday night, only ABC's telecast of the Ohio State/USC football game and CBS's 48 Hours Mystery drew larger audiences during primetime. Meanwhile, the History Channel said Monday that it had scored its second-largest audience ever with the special 102 Minutes that Changed America , which it aired on the seventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The documentary also drew 5.2 million viewers.
