An oddity...

File Under: Cable News Ratings

Here's something that we don't get often... Ratings for cable news networks for SUNDAY night. I've rarely seen an hourly breakdown. Last I heard a few years back, FNC wasn't doing too great on the weekends. Evidentially, that's not the case! Here are the ratings, via Inside Cable News:

7PM
FOX Report Sunday - 1,132,000 viewers
People in the News - 411,000 viewers
MSNBC Special - 131,000 viewers

8PM - P2+
War Stories - 942,000 viewers
CNN Presents - 373,000 viewers
Hardball - 159,000 viewers

9 PM - P2+
Big Story Weekend Edition - 1,631,000 viewers
Larry King Live - 496,000 viewers
MSNBC Special - 217,000 viewers

10 PM P2+
At Large with Geraldo Rivera (sub host) - 1,729,000 viewers
CNN Sunday Night - 380,000 viewers
Meet the Press - 299,000 viewers

The Big Story Weekend's host for the weekend was Julie Banderas. Evidentially, she can hold a show! (and she has great talent, too. She's not just looks. She's very professional in her reports)

UPDATE: If you want more ratings fun, here's a .PDF, ranking the top cable news shows for the month of July. FNC's lowest rated program, their 6 am broadcast, beat almost all of CNN's programs, and ALL of MSNBC's programs.
