Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart  

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Naturally FOX News romped on the final night of the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION, peaking at a 1.57 demo rating and 9.7M total viewers in the 10PM hour.  CNN was considerably behind in the hour at 1.28/5.8M.  (See Mitch Metcalf’s Convention Ratings Analysis post for much more on those numbers, and look for coverage next week of the Democratic Convention ratings.) HBO aired a special convention-related episode of REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER at 0.23.
