Cable News Twitter Ratings for September 18, 2013

So I threw a few Comedy Central shows into the mix since they deal with current events and, really, are just as newsy as some other programs.  I added Key & Peele in for fun, since tonight was their season kick-off.

Holy Moly, did Key and Peele score high.  Yes, they were live tweeting the show, but still, wow.  They had more tweets, for a half-hour show, in their time slot than any other program on cable news.  Let’s see if next week does the same for them.  

In terms of over all daily tweets, Piers Morgan seems to still be the champ.  The man knows how to spark a debate.

Note that all times are US Eastern Time. See notes at end for further explanations. For earlier articles on cable news twitter ratings, please see this.
