35.5 Million watch Obama Infomercial

NBC - 9.5 Million
CBS - 8.6 Million
Fox - 7.8 Million
MSNBC - 3.54 Million (may be highest rated program ever on MSNBC)
Univision - 3.47 Million
BET - 700,000
TV One - 300,000

NBC fell back to 5th place at 8:30 (The CW beat NBC). ABC had 6.78 Million watch "Pushing Dasies".

Side note: CNN was offered the infomercial, but refused citing they are a news network. I assume Fixed Noise was also offered it...but refused it for obvious reasons. I suspect other networks (like ABC) refused.

I read an article somewhere that stated ABC wanted to air the infomercial on another night in order to save their wednesday night line-up, but changed their mind at the last minute and it was already too late to pick up Obama TV
 
The BBC reported today that Fox News did air it. But I suspect their reporter simply didn't distinguish between FOX and Fox News.

And when NBC is beaten in the ratings by the CW, Jeff Zucker should get concerned.

Especially if the fifth place show was NBC's baby, "Deal or No Deal". With a million dollar win.

I read that the show ran on "seven" networks - perhaps they meant seven English-language networks, plus Univision? Are you suggesting the numbers for Fox and Fox News are combined?

I wonder if even Olbermann on MSNBC even beat NBC at 8:30.
 
I'm only suggesting that the BBC report was mistaken.
 
At least out of the networks available on my cable system, the Obamercial appeared on:

CBS
NBC
Fox (broadcast)
MSNBC
BET
Univision (in English with Spanish subtitles)

It was not on FNC, nor on CNN.
