SUPER TUESDAY SUPERIOR TO 2004 FOR CABLE NEWS NETWORKS
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: Marisa Guthrie]
Super Tuesday was a windfall for the cable news networks. CNN averaged 3.64 million viewers (1.52 million in news’ key demographic of 25- to 54-year-olds) during the primetime hours of 8 p.m.-11 p.m., followed by Fox News Channel with 3.49 million viewers (1.09 million in the demo) and MSNBC with 2.11 million viewers (1.02 million in the demo). Those numbers far outdistanced what the cable news networks pulled in on Super Tuesday 2004, which took place in March.
