CNN Hanging on To Post-Katrina Ratings Boost
Numbers from the last couple of days show CNN hanging on to the ratings boost coverage of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina has given the network. Of course all we get from Inside Cable News, (no fault of their's of course but FNC's who leaks the numbers to ICN), are prime-time numbers. BUT they show CNN's prime-time #'s well over the million mark which are well over pre-Katrina numbers. If you notice FNC's numbers have fallen back to pre-Katrina #'s:
