ESPN Monday Night Football did Trounce PT911

[RamboLiberal]

The first game of Monday night's double-header, the Minnesota Vikings beating the Washington Redskins, drew a 9.9 Nielsen Media Research household rating, with 9.18 million households and 12.6 million viewers, the biggest numbers in ESPN history. The game was also the second-largest audience in cable TV history, behind CNN's coverage of the North American Free Trade Agreement debate in November 1993.

The second game, in which the San Diego Chargers blew out the Oakland Raiders, drew an 8.5 rating, with 7.9 million households and 10.5 million viewers.

The conclusion of ABC's miniseries "The Path to 9/11" led ABC to a ratings win Monday. Numbers for the night are approximate, as a presidential address marking the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks interrupted regular programming in much of the country.

ABC averaged a 7.4 rating/11 share for the night, finishing well ahead of CBS' 5.2/8. NBC was third at 4.2/7. FOX, 4.0/7, came in fourth, and The WB trailed with a 1.2/2.

4. Well, I'm not too worried about that

7.4 rating. People who watched the whole thing = 1.0. Still, CBS deserved better. ABC attracted the Freepers.

How did ABC win ?

10. What a sad testimony to the American character

Regardless of the skewed nature of this propaganda, sentient beings SHOULD want to watch this more than they'd want to watch idiotic pointless sports. We truly are the culture that represents humanity best: coarse, opportunistic, shallow and trivial.
