On the second night of Erin Burnett’s Outfront, she slipped 24% in the demo to 164,000 adults 25-54 and was behind Chris Matthews with adults 25-54. The Amanda Knox news cycle seems to be running out rapidly and HLN was down considerably Tuesday night, so Burnett managed to avoid fourth place.
FNC had a 2 minute Amanda Knox statement from 8:38-8:40p ET, it’s not in the table below but it averaged 3.057 million viewers and 607K adults 25-54 (note: The O’Reilly Factor results below do not include those two minutes).
