Broadcast network coverage of Iran bombing

I see CNN's Anderson Cooper is still in Tel Aviv. I haven't seen any TV reporters in Tehran yet.
I'm watching live coverage over the air on CBS right now.
CBS here in Columbia SC (WLTX) is just running regular programming (I think it's their new daytime drama).
Ditto WRDW and WCSC (thank you, Televes DATBOSS!). Can't tell what WBTV is doing.
Did we get the Saturday night ratings yet?

I don't get TV ratings, but I presume @TheBigA will find them.
However, your bet was not specific to Saturday night. It was phrased as a statement of general viewing.
I said more people watched Fox News and not ABC during the Iran coverage.
Where's Richard Engel doing his reports from? I caught him in the middle of a lengthy live report on MSNBC Saturday night following the bombing, but prior to Trump's speech while NBC network was still in regular programming. It was 5 a.m. where Engel was but I didn't hear him say where he was based. I was a little surprised to see him still doing reports for MSNBC at all since some of the best NBC News people have already cut ties with the cable side ahead of the spinoff.
As of Saturday he was still in Israel. Don't know about today.

That was not clear in your original statement, sir.
"I bet more people watch the news on Fox News than ABC" is a general statement. You did not say "I bet more people watched the news about the bombing on Fox News than ABC."
Pay up.
Last night. You literally quoted what I said.
That's what he meant....

You did not use the proper tense of "watch" when you made the bet. Changes the entire dynamic of the statement.
I don't care "what you meant" because the discussion then evolved into a general discussion of network news ratings. It probably would not have had you been more clear.
That is my point.
My statement was clear. Your semanticing your way out.
Honestly I didn’t even know he wanted to start a beef with me. I’m over it.
I’m still curious if we got the Saturday night ratings yet.

Me too. I've made my point about semantics.
Cable ratings and broadcast ratings come out at different times. It may be a few days before we see the cable ratings from Saturday.
It’s not just in this thread.
Here is how the different news networks covered the breaking news Saturday night.
