Fewer people (about 8.8 million fewer) watched the 5 broadcast networks last night than usual (well, than the previous Friday night). This looks to be a decrease in total viewership by about 1/3. >From data provided by the TV By The Numbers folks, last Friday the 5 broadcast networks they track (CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX & CW) had an average total viewership of 24.8M viewers in each half hour between 8:00 and 10:00, Last night, the Hope for Haiti had a total average viewership of 16M per half hour block in that period. Now I guess we would like to know how many more people watched one of the many cable (or PBS) stations that aired the telethon. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
