CNN put out a release noting the Fast National ratings, which are not the final ratings, for last night’s Iowa Caucuses…

Fast Nationals for Tuesday, January 3 (Iowa Caucuses)

As the only news organization that doesn’t take sides, CNN had a strong performance during Tuesday’s Republican Iowa caucuses topping MSNBC in both total viewers and the key demo 25-54 during all key day parts.

CNN also showed the most growth among total viewers compared to the prior four Tuesdays, increasing +142% (1.310m vs. 541k), while FNC increased just 22% (2.631m vs. 2.158m) and MSNBC was up 32% (1.195m vs. 903k) during primetime. In the target demo 25-54, CNN also grew the most, increasing +220% (486k vs. 152k), while FNC was up 43% (684k vs. 478k) and MSNBC grew 49% (303k vs. 203k) vs. the prior four Tuesdays.

  1. But did that count as political coverage or comedy?

    “Fast national”? Great – CNN is celebrating a metric that no one has heard of.

  3. - Fast National –

    Don’t they sell traveler’s checks?

  4. - Fast National -

    I know that guy..

  5. - Fast National -

    Sounds like an ObamaCare universal diet programme.

  6. President’s Council on Physical Fitness. Right after the shuttle run.

  7. So, should I take this that CNN is proud of their sucky primetime ratings so they can claim credit for getting the biggest bounce during the caucus coverage? I think they should prefer to have better primetime numbers.
