Wednesday Cable Ratings: Wolf Blitzer #1 in Demo on CNN

With 224K viewers, the second hour of The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer was the highest-rated show on CNN Wednesday afternoon. At 6 p.m., Wolf Blitzer‘s show more than doubled MSNBC’s PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton (108K), but came in second place to Fox News’ Special Report with Bret Baier (403K).

Anderson Cooper 360 led the way in total viewers for CNN with 686K at 8 p.m., just slightly ahead of Blitzer’s 6 p.m. hour, which had 680K total viewers.
