Jan. #’s: Total Viewers Vs. 2005

Summing up the total viewer data for January 2005 vs. the same month a year ago: FNC is down slightly, CNN is down, MSNBC is up, CNBC is up a little in total day and a good bit in primetime, and HLN’s Nancy Grace effect is evident in primetime but not in total day.
Notice how MSNBC has gained 10% viewership while CNN has lost 9% in total day — and how MSNBC has gained 16% viewership while CNN has lost 17% and FNC has lost 18% in primetime — are we seeing a shift?
