Jeff Bercovici of DailyFinance.com reports that the move by radio show host Don Imus to Fox Business Network has brought the business news channel higher ratings.
“The viewers Imus attracted skewed somewhat older than the 25-to-54 crowd advertisers generally prefer. The bulk of the audience, 73,000 viewers, were between 35 and 65 years old. The source had no information on how much of the audience stuck around to watch Fox Business after Imus in the Morning ended. A network spokeswoman declined to confirm or deny the numbers cited above, noting that FBN is not publicly rated.
“Imus also beat its primary rival, CNBC’s Squawk Box, by 17 percent. Squawk Box averaged 151,000 during the same time period.”
