Wednesday Ratings: CNBC’s Debate Rules The Night
We don’t usually get into the CNBC ratings, but it’s hard to ignore the performance of the network’s Your Money, Your Vote debate on Wednesday night. Not only did the debate’s ratings best every other show in prime time, it actually got stronger in its second hour, increasing from 947,000 viewers in the 25-54 year-old demo at 8 p.m. to 1.039 million at 9 p.m. It also pulled in 3.201 million total viewers for its first hour and 3.462 million in its second.
The bad news? The debate was just the sixth-highest, ratings-wise, in the crop of 2011 debates. Fox News still rules the roost with their September debate, while Wednesday’s CNBC debate fell between the ratings of CNN’s Tea Party debate and Fox News’ Republican debate in May.
Some other nuggets from Wednesday:
Average Time Slot Finish:
Fox News: 1.14
CNN: 2.43
MSNBC: 2.43
HLN: 4
