The reviews were scathing, but the
ratings were raging, therefore Fox News has picked up
thirteen more episodes of "The Half Hour News Hour:"
The second pilot rang in 1.4 million viewers and 443,000
in the 25-54 demo at 10 p.m. on Sunday night, matching the perf of the
first pilot, which lifted FNC’s numbers in the slot 69% over its first
quarter average.
If sustained, those numbers would make it the top show in cable news
on the weekend, an indication of the market for a satire show that
speaks to conservatives.
