Like many of its competitors, the size of PBS' Prime Time average has been decreasing. This isn't news & ndash; if you read the trade papers, Madison Avenue has been wondering aloud why they still spend billions each year on advertising in front of commercial network audiences. Rather than comparing PBS' audience to other Prime Time network schedules (say Fox News, CNN, A&E, Discovery, or History) McGrath strangely offers "Friday Night Smackdown" as a comparison, in the same article he proposes that "quality" is out there. The combined viewing audience for all of the prime-time cable news channels is about 2.5 million. Only about one million more than PBS' single channel of evening programming. And why does he pass judgment on something as successful as FNS? Thanks for nothing, Charles.
