Fox Business hunts for ratings

Entertainment

Wall Street

When the Fox Business Channel made its debut, a reporter appeared on the screen standing outside the headquarters of CNBC. The correspondent declared it was "hunting season."
But in the hunt for ratings, CNBC is well ahead of the game. Early numbers from Nielsen Media Research show on any given weekday Fox Business has just over 6,000 viewers. CNBC, its main competitor, has 283,000. That measurement was taken from mid-October to mid-December, the first two months Fox Business was on the air. The New York Times points out the new channel is so far available in about 30 million homes. CNBC can be seen in 90 million homes.

Marketplace Confessional

I've just listened to Mr. Stein's concern for the poor working man. No doubt he drove his Bronco to the station to make his plea for the common man. Honestly, Ben Stein weeping for the common man's fate? After my sides stopped hurting from laughing ...
