Q2 ’06: Program Ranker

There aren’t many surprises in the Q2 program ranker: O’Reilly is #1, followed by H&C, Greta, Shep, and Hume. Larry King, the only CNN host in the top 12, comes in at #6. (Larry’s having some demo trouble.)

Lou Dobbs Tonight was CNN’s #2 show, with 198,000 demo and 791,000 viewers. Anderson Cooper has more demo viewers (205,000) but fewer total viewers (606,000). Nancy Grace averaged 137,000 demo and 411,000 viewers. (She’s the only competitive host on Headline News.)

Friday night’s MSNBC Investigates was the top show on MSNBC, followed by Hardball, Countdown, and Scarborough Country. Rita Cosby has sagged at 10pm, averaging just 98,000 demo and 278,000 viewers. Analyze it for yourself:
