Some TVNewser readers wondered about the A25-54 demo win for Headline News at 5pmET yesterday. Why, they wanted to know, did Headline Prime come in first when it is most often third or fourth.
Two words: car chase. HLN was the only network to air an LAPD police pursuit in its entirety, which took up almost the entire 5pmET hour (spoiler alert — he didn’t get away). The pursuit ended around 5:55. For the 6pmET hour HLN was back in fourth place.
