The first thing that pops to my mind when I see a graph like that is: “measurement error on ABC and NBC over the past couple of weeks”.
Was there any other reason why they'd fall down then pop back up like that?
Ratings are down across the board from Christmas to New Years.
I was going to point you to our Cable News charts, but they are significantly skewed many nights because of presidential debate and now primary coverage.
