I’ve got good news and better news.
Good News: The O’Reilly Factor’s average viewership in the sought-after 25-54 age group has not declined, but stayed exactly the same after adding the newer data for 2009* from Mar 25 to May 5: 772,000 viewers.
Better News: Countdown’s average viewership against the same parameters has declined from 446,000 to 414,000.
See for yourself and notice the other gains/declines in average viewership. Looks like Greta’s on the rise.
Earlier this year:

Current:

* From Jan 21 to now, I’ve excluded exactly 4 weekdays as they correspond to a night the President gave a speech. On those nights the numbers were skewed quite highly and didn’t represent the normal weeknight viewership.
So, Keith has two slots… do we add those together, or do we just assume that liberals like watching the same thing over and over again? I mean, even aggregated, his ratings are still lower then O'Reilly, but does put him above Sean and Beck. Also, is there a good way of handling online viewership? Has fivethirtyeight.com gotten on this particular issue yet?
