Once the incidents were reported in London at 8:20am, FNC never dipped below a million viewers yesterday, according to the hourly ratings. And FNC never dipped below 2 million in primetime.

Primetime notes: More people wanted to watch Natalee Holloway updates on Nancy Grace than terrorism updates on Paula Zahn Now; Jim Cramer apparently held onto the new viewers who watched Wednesday’s studio audience edition of Mad Money; MSNBC viewers watched Keith Olbermann, turned the channel when Tucker Carlson came on, and came back for Joe Scarborough;
