Election Coverage

the WSJ.com ($$$ req.), compared to 2000, NBC dropped 17%, ABC fell 11% and CBS lost 27% of its viewers. Meanwhile, Fox News tripled its ratings. Fox was launched in 1996. In 2000, Fox had 1.7 million viewers. Trippling it is great, but Fox's 5.1 million was still less than NBC (10), ABC (9.1), and CBS (6.9).
