Let me be clear… I’m a huge fan of Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld. If you scroll the sidebar, you’ll see a great quote by Gutfeld which once got me linked to one of my favorite blogs – Q and O.

Now to the story… Red Eye is on at 3 am.  Who the heck is up and watching TV at that time? More people than you would believe. In fact, more people in the key demo of 25 to 54 year olds (and total viewers) watch Red Eye at 3 am than CNN’s Campbell Brown at 8 pm or MSNBC’s Morning Joe at 6 am.

Mediaite reports:

“Red Eye averaged 432,000 total viewers and 202,000 in the demo. Let’s deal with the demo first – CNN’s 8pmET show, hosted by Campbell Brown, averaged 191,000 in the demo. Let’s just let that one sink in – Fox News had more people in the all important A25-54 demographic watching their channel at three in the morning (east coast time) than CNN had for the show that leads off their prime time. This says as much about Fox News as it does about CNN. Wow.”

“In total viewers (and demo), Red Eye beat the cable news competition three hours later. All three other morning shows, MSNBC’s Morning Joe, CNN’s American Morning and HLN’s Morning Express had less viewers in September.”

These statistics are nothing short of stunning and don’t think the back room bean counters at CNN and MSNBC have failed to notice.

Congratulations to Mr. Gutfeld and crew at Red Eye!

I would urge people to watch your show but it doesn’t look like you need any help.
