The Election TV Rating Results

Well as usual it seemed I was watching one channel (MSNBC) and the rest of the country were watching another one on election night.  I had been following CNN for most of the political campaign and then switched allegiance during the last few weeks. CNN's claim of having the 'best political team on TV' was a bit much and the same claim was obviously echoed on all their competitor networks. That said they do a great job and manage to keep Lou Dobbs largely out of the picture when 'real' news comes in!

Here's how the numbers looked on the evening of November 4th:

Viewers watching between 8-10 PM ET

ABC - 13.14 million

CNN - 12.29 million

NBC - 12.02 million

Fox News Channel - 9.03 million

CBS - 7.83 million

MSNBC - 5.89 million

Fox - 5.14 million

Univision - 4.08 million

ABC surprised me as I think NBC has a much better network team but maybe Charlie Gibson was rocking the glasses on the nose look again!
