Hitwise Debuts Cable-News Category; MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann Is First Winner

Hitwise added a new category to its analysis of most-viewed television Web sites, cable news, and MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann was the first-ever leader for the week ending July 3, followed by MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, and Fox News Channel’s Glenn Beck.

As usual, the top two broadcast-network sites were ABC and CBS.

CBS’ Big Brother blasted its way onto the list of the top three broadcast-show sites, claiming the No. 2 spot, behind Fox’s American Idol and followed by Fox’s America’s Most Wanted.

The top-three cable-show Web sites were unchanged from the week ending June 26: Comedy Central’s South Park, ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars, and Comedy’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
