Here are the cable ratings for last night as Hurricane Sandy made landfall. Apologies for not having all the midnight numbers. A couple of notes: CNN won total day and primetime (8-11pm) in the demo and Piers Morgan’s 9pm hour was the most watched hour in the demo in primetime. Fox News was tops in total viewers in both total day and in primetime.
