Glenn Beck's Best Numbers Yet

By Chris Ariens on Sep 11, 2009 05:42 PM

Nothing like a boycott to really hurt ratings.

Glenn Beck had his highest viewership ever Thursday averaging 3.34M Total Viewers.

His was the second-highest rated program in Total Viewers in cable news behind The O'Reilly Factor's 3.61M.

And Beck was even bigger with the ad-friendly demo, putting up his second best numbers since the show premiered in January. In A25-54 viewers, Beck was #1 for the day, and remember, his show airs at 5pmET/2pmPT when viewers aren't in front of their TVs like they are at 8, 9 or 10pm.

Although, last night many of those primetime viewers were siphoned off from all other channels, and instead watching the NFL's first regular season game on NBC which drew 17.75M Total Viewers.

— Total Viewers / A25-54 demo

• Beck - 3,340,000 / 958K
• O'Reilly - 3,609,000 / 918K
• Hannity - 2,986,000 / 831K

I like Beck and Hannity better than O'Reilley. But glad all of their numbers are higher than gov't run media stations.

Beck said today he had just over FIVE MILLION Viewers for BOTH SHOWS

the original at 5 PM eastern and the repeat at 2AM Eastern

Nice to know there are still people in media that will research a story. And, they even give the other side a chance to speak. O'Reilly seems to be getting a little soft but he still allows people who think he's nuts to come on.

People are waking up! This is great news!

Just mentioned his show to another person today who said she'd tune in next week.
