O'Reilly Rerun Beats Piers Morgan

O'Reilly Rerun Beats Piers Morgan

In a recent Politico interview, Piers Morgan boasted that someday he’ll beat Bill O’Reilly, his Fox News competitor who throttles the gun-grabbing Brit on a nightly basis. As do Sean Hannity and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, who compete with Morgan during the same 9pm hour. 

Tuesday night, however, Morgan’s 8pm first run show couldn’t even beat O’Reilly’s 11pm rerun:

Net 11PM P2+ (000s) 25-54 (000s) 35-64 (000s)
FNC THE OREILLY FACTOR 1,089 368 591

Net 9PM P2+ (000s) 25-54 (000s) 35-64 (000s)
FNC Hannity 1,808 347 676
CNN Piers Morgan Tonight 822 269 346

Just sayin’.

What’s most pathetic about these numbers is that thanks to Morgan’s Morton Downey Junioring, Morgan currently hosts the highest-rated program on CNN.

The trouble that network’s in cannot be overstated.
