Flood writes, “‘Lou Dobbs Tonight’ and ‘Varney & Co’ finished as the top two business news programs in cable, the first time FBN achieved the two highest-rated time slots in business news for an entire quarter.
“‘Varney & Co’ averaged 193,00 total viewers for the quarter, beating CNBC’s ‘Squawk on the Street’ and ‘Squawk Alley,’ which averaged 179,000 total viewers, by eight percent to pick up its first quarterly win in the 9 a.m.-12 p.m. ET time slot.
“Lou Dobbs notched his third straight quarterly win over CNBC with 251,000 viewers, compared to 117,000. This is the ninth consecutive monthly win for Dobbs over CNBC. Every show on Fox Business from 9:30 a.m. through 5 p.m. ET set all-time highs, including ‘Cavuto: Coast to Coast,’ which averaged 180,000 viewers for its best quarter ever. That number is made all the more intriguing by the fact that its eponymous host, Neil Cavuto, took leave from the show for the majority of the quarter to recover from open-heart surgery.”
