It's not really suprising that the there were not as many viewers tuning into the election results on Tuesday night as we've seen during past primary coverage. The real question wasn't "Who would win?" but "By how much would she win?". In looking at the ratings, each of the three networks defined a different time period as their "Primary/ Election coverage" time slots. (I crunched the numbers for the 7PM - 12AM time period and when compared with the averages above, the numbers are slightly different, but the overall ranking remains the same.)
CNN peaked at 9PM with 662,000 Adult 25 - 54 Viewers and 1,886,000 Total Audience 2+ Viewers. This is more than both MSNBC (showing Election Coverage) and FOX (showing HANNITY & COLMES) during the 9PM hour.

CNN really needs to do something with the
8 pm hour. They spend way too much time
with the annoying partisan panels.
It is getting difficult to watch.
On Tues program, there was a reporter for
The Washington TImes who was also a
part of the RNC, who basically took over
the show and cut every one else off who
tried to counter her pov. It got to the
point where I stopped watching.
I think if CNN continues with this format
it's ratings will tank. Why does CNN permit
the talking points to air on it's network instead
of a legitimate discussion on the topic.
Hello. Who else to answer the question about
Iran's power in the region other than Michael
Ware or Fareed Zakaria?
Viewers know when they hear talking
points. Partisan hacks do not know
anything about the pressing issues.
All they know is attack and spin.
Why not have a cool open with video,
music and soundbites from the news of
the day and mini news vignettes mixed
with music that fit the stories throughout
the programs. Geez they could be used all
day long with different songs,different
bites and video.
Take the back and forth between
Obama and Mccain mixed with
the sports jams played at games
familiar to everyone.
There is a song for just about any
situation. Talk, talk and more talk
will just bore viewers who will hit
the mute or channel change on the
remote. It can not be that difficult
to have people put together little
30 second or longer news clips
mixed with music. You do not
have to even use the same songs
each day. That means it would
never get old.
