Paul Gough recaps the Q3 ratings:

> “CNN and MSNBC [posted] their best viewership levels since the Iraq war started in the second quarter of 2003.”

> “Fox News, which was already having a standout summer, jumped 31% over the year-ago period in total day to 1.2 million viewers and 29% in primetime to 2.3 million viewers.”

> “CNN said the demo gap between itself and top-rated Fox was the lowest it had been in years, with only 19% separating them in adults 25-54. Fox News said it was only in September.”

> “Four CNN shows cracked 1 million viewers or more…Fox News had 11 shows that had an average of more than 1 million viewers.”
