Compared to the same week last year, only the “CBS Evening News” was up in total viewers, and was down only slightly in the demo. ABC and NBC were down significantly in both total and demo viewers.
Last year saw the aftermath of the tsunami in Japan, and the beginning of TV news covering the Libyan uprising.
