Latest GOP Debate Hits Rankings High

The apparently nightly Republican presidential candidate debates around the cable news systems have began to get traction within the rankings because the story lines one of the major gamers start to emerge (i.e., as Ron Perry and Mitt Romney distance themselves in the pack as management). Last evening’s Fox News/Google debate on Fox News Funnel was the entire year’s most-viewed debate yet, calculating 6.a million total audiences and 1.7 million audiences within the key 25-54 demographic because of its 9-11 PM ET time slot. That’s especially impressive because it beat the viewership amounts of countless new series airing around the competing broadcast systems throughout premiere week including NBC’s Prime Suspect.
