You're extrapolating data from one day of viewing, while the next day all of them, including Adler and Lilley, dropped far below 20K?<br /><br />You have now proven how the Conservatives got their majority - by making facts irrelevant. Good job.Kyle H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06049961780427560881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-40777313773958911792011-10-29T19:55:06.191-04:002011-10-29T19:55:06.191-04:00Just this August -

Sun News Networ...Just this August -<br /><br />==============<br /><i>Sun News Network scorched CBC and CTV in ratings last Friday.<br /><br />During the afternoon and in prime time, Sun News programming bested the state broadcaster's News Network by more than 30,000 viewers. CTV News Channel was a distant third.<br /> <br />While Canada Live - guest-hosted by Anita Sharma - reached 72,900 viewers, according to BBM ratings data, the CBC's afternoon programming only had an audience of 37,900. CTV logged 34,000 viewers during the same coveted 3-5 p.m. timeslot.<br /> <br />Even more remarkable is that while Charles Adler was reaching 82,300 viewers at 8 p.m. ET, the CBC could only muster an audience of 58,200. CTV was third place that night with 39,600 tuning in.<br /> <br />Later Friday, Byline with Brian Lilley tied the network record with an audience of 89,000. Sun News' 9 p.m. ET show throttled the meager 18,000-viewer audience for CTV, and nearly knocking the decades-old CBC newscast hosted by Peter Mansbridge off its taxpayer-funded pedestal. Joining the ratings successes, Ezra Levant's show The Source registered 57,000 viewers at 5 p.m. ET.<br /> <br />That crushed CTV's audience of 28,000 viewers and was within striking distance of CBC's audience of 59,200 over the same period.<br /> <br />These early ratings wins come at a time when Sun News is only available in about 5.5 million households, compared with CBC News Network in 10.6 million homes and CTV in 8.5 million.<br /> <br /><b>"What makes these numbers truly impressive is that we don't receive over a billion dollars in taxpayer support to make it happen," said Sun News spokesman Luc Lavoie.</b><br /> <br />"On top of that, we don't have anywhere near the household distribution of CBC or CTV."</i><br />================<br /><br />Oh!
