‘Face’ Slips In Key Demo

We’re going to try not to get too heavy into ratings here (they bore us too), but there’s more bad news for CBS’s “Face The Nation” in the final numbers for this past Sunday.

In TV’s key 25-54 demographic, ‘Face the Nation’ lost to ‘This Week’ with the ABC show garnering 30,000 more viewers–the CBS show’s worst performance since May 25, 2003!

And the numbers also show ‘Face’ slipping behind Fox News Sunday in cities ranging from here in Washington to Kansas City to Milwaukee to Portland to Detroit, among others.

Was this Sunday a wake-up call to CBS execs at ‘Face’?
