The Ticker: HLN, FBN, PBS…

> Nancy Grace won the demo for HLN at 8pmET last week, averaging 752,000 viewers (compared to 2nd place FNC with 609,000). It was the only week the program finished first in the demo since its launch. In Total Viewers, Grace was 2nd and The O’Reilly Factor was #1 (3,105,000 to 1,878,000). In both categories, MSNBC’s Countdown was #3 and CNN’s No Bias, No Bull was #4.

> FishbowlDC has the video of Charlie Rose addressing viewers about the layoff situation at his PBS program. “I am deeply in debt to them for their contributions,” said Rose.
