Yesterday, I reported that Anderson Cooper 360 had the best hour of any cable news program. The Nielsens weren’t as kind to him, as he came in third place. But not a distant third, at least from second, and up a third from his week previous ratings.
Tuesday night AC360 Later won the ratings — Anderson is making a move towards better viewership. It will be interesting to see if this keeps up!
A good day for Anderson Cooper, who won the 8pm time slot and did well throughout the day…
