Had to make a correction to last week. "America's Got Talent" had a Wednesday episode and I forgot to change to the day of the week. Fixed now.

The CW finally figured out what they had to do on Saturdays.

I have numbers for the convention on three cable channels. For MSNBC 5.0 on Wednesday and 6.0 on Thursday. For CNN 3.2 on Wednesday and 3.7 on Thursday. Remember Fox News coverage of the Republicans? 2.2 on Wednesday and 1.8 on Thursday. Hey, it went DOWN. But Fox News got big numbers for the Republicans. Pretty much what you'd expect. I don't know what Jesse Watters or Hannity are but I assume where it just says "Democratic National Convention" that's what it is.

Real cops did better than reruns of pretend cops on The CW.

For the convention, MSNBC 4.7 on Monday and 5.0 on Tuesday. CNN 3.4 on Monday and 3.3 Tuesday. Fox News 2.6 on Monday and 1.7 on Tuesday. Interesting.

Among the broadcast networks, NBC was number on Tuesday for some reason.

There we are.

I'm expecting to be quite busy one week in the near future. Maybe I'll get this done anyway. Next Wednesday could be a problem because of the holiday.
