I wanted to post this article so that people would reconsider the concept that Fox News has the highest ratings. Yes, its true when comparing cable news networks. But how does this compare to network news and by HOW MUCH?
To demonstrate this, I am going to list the ratings by average households. I would agree this is apple and oranges but the point is that the evening network news is still a large influence. So this is the current ratings by household:
Ratings by average household
NBC 6.3 million
ABC 5.9 million
CBS 4.6 million
Fox 1.0 million
CNN .5 million
MSNBC .3 million
Network newscasts still dominate :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Lewis Lazare
A handful of news and opinion-focused cable channels are vigorously fighting to pull in more viewers looking for their news fix. But by far the most significant chunk of television watchers still turn to the networks' nightly newscasts for their daily news summary

All you've proven is that most people don't pay for TV (cable, Sat).... now that is a total surprise.

I watch PBC....is that strange? I feel like it's more news about the country and the world then what other networks show. Which is more entertainment and fear mongering, and making issues that shouldn't be an issue.
I probably should have asked people to list where they watch the news or where they get their news.I don't really count but I go to BBC and Channel 4 for my news at home/Europe and CNN if I want anything to do with US
What is PBC?
Tv... News....???
Haaaaaaaawwwwwww!

Don't worry Fox's viewership will probably go down after the 2012 election.No wonder there are so many misinformed people out there.
