In Indianapolis, Meet the Press beat This Week by 550%

[MadBadger]

For the week, MTP was up 94% while This week was actually DOWN 26 % week to week in Indianapolis.


TVNewser has received more ratings information on the Sunday morning shows. Based on the available household data for Indianapolis, Meet the Press delivered 91,000 homes (8.5 rating/21 share), up 94% versus the prior week. ABC's This Week delivered 14,000 homes (1.3 rating/4 share), down 26% versus the prior week.

The Russert-Obama hour on NBC affiliate WTHR beat the Stephanopoulos-Clinton hour on ABC affiliate WRTV by +550%.

This was the best homes delivery for Meet the Press on WTHR in at least 14 years (Feb. 1994), when Indianapolis became a metered market.

This all makes this line from the NYTimes Saturday story about the Sunday morning face-off very interesting.

Aides said Mrs. Clinton was attracted to his one-hour format and ABC-TV's high ratings in Indiana and North Carolina...
North Carolina, perhaps. We'll be getting the full national ratings picture later this week.

1. After watching

Steph in action at the last debate, he is dead to me. No more "This Week" for me.

4. And after all the propping up he did for her there, she shat on him at the town hall

Especially when she said that he and her both were against NAFTA, and trying to cut at him as an "objective journalist"

[curious one]

2. Watched both but clicked away from Steph

Could not stomach lies

3. Take the hint Clintons

This needs to be a sign to them and media that we have REAL problems in this country and all this minor crap like media whore #1 and George Stepped-in-it-opolis should get in touch or get the hell out.
