Headline News enjoyed its best ratings for a single month ever in January (besides Hurricane Katrina coverage in September, 2005.) For HLN's prime time (which is measured from 7pmET-12amET), the network averaged 456,000 total viewers and 190,000 A25-54 viewers. Also, HLN's prime time saw its best ratings in a single month.

Another bright January spot was on Friday, January 25, when Nancy Grace finished first in the 8pmET time slot in the A25-54 demo. This is the first time HLN finished first in the demo at 8pmET since May 30, 2005.
