Lou Dobbs Achieves Highest Rated Month since Launching in 2011

FOX Business Network’s (FBN) Lou Dobbs Tonight earned its highest rated month in October 2012, topping CNBC’s The Kudlow Report in both total viewers and the coveted advertizing demo of person aged 25-54, according to Nielsen Media Research. The victory marks the first monthly win in both total viewers and in the demo for the 7 PM/ET program since launching in March 2011.

For the month of October, Dobbs won the timeslot with an average of 172,000 total viewers, compared to The Kudlow Report which took in 169,000 viewers. In the demo, Dobbs scored a whopping 89 percent advantage over CNBC with 53,000 viewers to Kudlow’s 28,000. FBN is available in roughly half as many homes as CNBC and this is the first time a program has won the month in both total viewers and the 25-54 demo since launching in 2007.
