Both the rating and the share of households watching at any one time was about one percent, although a bit better in the western U.S. That means roughly one million households and 1.3 million people. Those numbers were not very good, according to officials here, below normal prime time ratings and below election coverage generally and the election special four years ago. This, in part, is something afflicting many television outlets these days as viewers have steadily more outlets to choose from, not to mention the impact of the Web on TV watching."
