Do networks make a sound?, pt. 2
by James Gattuso on September 2, 2004
The other day in my post on the rising cable viewship for political conventions, I cited figures showing cable viewership at about half that of the b-cast networks. I thought that was a lot. Last night, however, Fox news actually beat all three b-cast networks, scoring over 5 million viewers for the GOP convention. Perhaps it was Zell Miller, who knows? Just one more milestone in the ever shrinking influence of broadcast TV in America.
