TV Ratings That Rarely Get Noticed

I was snooping around the Showbuzz Daily site [Thank You patterson1 for bringing it to SOWNY's attention] and most of their information concentrates on the primetime network schedules. the spotlight rarely shines on the Wake Up wars [TODAY and GMA battle it out] the Evening News [again the battle is between ABC and NBC] The common denominator in both these areas that CBS is not competitive. One area that gets almost no coverage is the Sunday morning political chat shows. Probably because only political geeks would be interested. I found the ratings stats for Sunday May 9th [25-54]  NBC Meet The Press 538K. ABC This Week 510K. CBS Face The Nation 472K. FOX News Sunday 305K. Averaging over a year, I don't think those rankings would change much, if at all.

Re: TV Ratings That Rarely Get Noticed

As I recall, This Week was the clear leader for many years - when Brinkley was at the helm. I used to watch it regularly.
