Sorry about the weather-related delay. However, the Saturday numbers aren't up yet. I'm working on what I've got.

Looks like the magicians made The CW's viewers disappear. Animal and kid videos seem to work, if you can call those numbers a success.

Notice I use one title for the convention, regardless of the fancy titles for each network's coverage.

This is a list for broadcast TV, but I saw numbers from Fox News which would be the natural place to watch a Republican convention. I didn't see anything from the convention in general for Thursday, which is quite surprising since Trump spoke, but when I get through I'll post what I have. I'm not sure what is mean by "Hannity" and "Jesse Watters" but there is a number for just "Republican National Convention" for Tuesday and Wednesday for Fox News. I haven't done Monday yet. The other cable channels got pathetic numbers not even worth mentioning, except on Thursday, but even then, does anyone really care?

If you see a number on the left, it's the previous Saturday. There's not a lot of Saturday shows since the previous Saturday, The Big Three devoted the entire schedule to the shooting. I didn't think I'd have any reason to keep that title, but surprise! All three networks aired an hour-long special about it at the same time. Fox had soccer and The CW went back to doing movies.

By the way, NBC had a special which was related to Biden on Monday.

I'll post Saturday's numbers and the rank for all shows when I can.

Now here's what I found for Fox News.

Monday 6.85, Hannity 6.12, Watters 5.47
Tuesday 5.37, Hannity 5.50, Watters 5.16
Wednesday 6.89, Hannity 6.20, Watters 5.99
Thursday Hannity 8.65, Watters 7.35 (didn't see a number for just the convention)

I thought Saturday's numbers would be up by now. They are not. I'll come back tomorrow if I remember.

All done. I meant to come here earlier and got distracted.

Hopefully things will be better next week. The last two nights will, of course, have The Olympics and there should be some big numbers there.
