That title should read Number One in Basic CABLE. Still 1/4th of even the lowest rated CBS Network NEWS and 1/10th of their average 15minute time slice.
All Fox shows are down 13% from last years National Arbitrons. O'Reilly is down 15% from last year.
It boils down to they are number One on a shrinking audience, much like all of talk radio. Network TV News and News related shows are holding their own in homes that have both Cable and Broadcast.
Last night I was watching TV and I caught a snippet that President Bush is going to have or already had a meeting with right wing radio and TV personas. I was drifting asleep to really get the core of what was being said but can somone clarify this?

I heard that on the radio this A.M. Apparently the prez & VP are going to go do radio & TV interviews with folks who have large conservative audiences in hopes of encouraging turn-out in November.
Presidents have been doing this as long as there have been mid-term elections.

Actually, from a variety of "daily bulletins" I get e-mailed to me, the talk radio format is up in most major markets.
