I believe for what you're listing is primetime viewers 8pm-11pm

Faux News being #1 should not surprise anyone considering how stupid most Americans are.

Yes, this is the only network that specializes in this type of broadcasting. Let's just mostly report/communicate to people what they want to hear, regardless of fact or how dangerous and irresponsible it can be.

How about cooling the attacks on others? All this is is a TV rating, for crying out loud, poster #3.

I'd hate to be an executive at Comedy.TV! Only an estimated 1,000 viewers in a 24-hour period?! That's... on average, 42 people watching the channel, per hour. WTF!?

I didn't know there was a channel about babies, and it rates higher than fuse, which plays nothing but music videos. Clearly youtube is enough for the young fans of today's music videos.

That was only for prime time 8pm-11pm viewers, not average day total viewers

No, halfway down the page it gives the total viewership for a 24-hour period. Comedy.TV is listed at 1,000 for a 24-hour period.

Oh, now I see it, thanks. I didn't realize they list total viewers after primetime viewers.

But yikes for comedy central to fall WAY low 1,000 total viewers. Maybe comedy central is no longer popular and seemed to be falling apart.. Maybe they should shut down Comedy central.

I still wish to know what are total average day ratings for Nick at Nite, since it's not posted in total average day ratings anymore

But CNN ("faux news") is not #1.

Oh, no problem. :)

That's actually not Comedy Central, but a completely different channel called Comedy.TV.

Comedy Central, on the other hand, is listed as 371,000 for the prime time slot, 250,000 for the 24-hour period.

Still, I'm not sure how any channel can stay in business with only 1,000 viewers. I share your "yikes", and raise you an "ouch"!
