Bill O' was in rerun on Friday. Unfortunately, for the sanity of the world, KO's numbers are rising.

Doug, Bill O was not actually on the show for Friday 5/23 or at all the week of 5/19-5/23. I'm not sure if either was on last night (Monday 5/26), but we haven't seen the ratings for last night yet.

If the Dems get elected, I could very well see Fox`s numbers go up and MSNBC`s drop as KO has nothing to rant about. The opposite might be true if the Repubs go for the gold. I see MSNBC being in a much more precarious state, though, as their audience is younger and it`s the younger audience that tends to be the most fickle in their tv viewing patterns. Fox`s older aud is going to stick with them until, well, they eventually die off.

Speaking of the BOR vs KO thingie, I wonder if KO has ever came as close to BOR in viewers as he did last night. The spread between the two used to be 3:1, but last night it was much, much closer with KO walloping BOR in adults.

Doug, I’d expect cable news overall to return to pre-election viewer levels.

Although depending on who gets into the White House there may be some interesting shifts *between* the different networks.

All the election hub-bub is really driving numbers, especially MSNBC’s. You have to wonder where everybody will end up this time next year, though.
