No Bore Here!

From Drudge:
FLASH: FOXNEWS PULLS 3,868,000 VIEWERS BETWEEN 8-11:30 PM ET MONDAY [VIEWERSHIP HITS 4,616,000 DURING RUDY SPEECH]; CNN AT 1,262,000 VIEWERS; MSNBC SCORES 854,000...

But this was the report on Tuesday July 27, 2004
THE BIG YAWN: NETWORKS IN RATINGS FREEFALL AT CONVENTION, OPENING NIGHT ALL-TIME LOW: ABCNEWS JENNINGS WITH 3.5 RATING/5 SHARE [DOWN FROM 4.5/8 IN 2000]; NBCNEWS BROKAW 3.3/5 [2000:4.8/9]; CBS DAN RATHER 3.2/5 [2000:3.8/7... TRAIL ALL OTHER PRIME-TIME MONDAY PROGRAMMING [CSI:MIAMI RERUN ON CBS PULLS 8.6 RATING/13 SHARE]... DEVELOPING...

FLASH: CNN PULLS MOST AUDIENCE IN CONVENTION CABLE RACE WITH 2.2 RATING MAX AT 10 PM; FOX 1.6 MAX; MSNBC 1.2 MAX... DEVELOPING..
In Primetime (Convention Coverage):

CBS: 3.2/5 HH, 4.552 million viewers

NBC: 3.3/6 HH, 4.532 million viewers

ABC: 3.1/5 HH, 4.403 million viewers

Keep in mind that it wasn't covered by the Alphabets so there isn't a real comparison, but I wonder how they would have done with Rudy!

We should be able to compare Arnold and Laura to these numbers - I doubt it will be a bore or yawn - perhaps a blowout?
