Nielsen does it again! - Stones - Tuesday, Oct 21, 14 @ 2:55 pm: I don’t think either of these candidates are particularly interesting. I’m guessing most of the electorate has already decided who gets their vote. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Oct 21, 14 @ 3:14 pm: To the Post, These two can get an Ad to use to either close, or attack, that is who they were playing to, at times, the Ad Guys - Arthur Andersen - Tuesday, Oct 21, 14 @ 3:18 pm: Apples and Oranges. Letterman was a “rerun.” - Bourbonrich - Tuesday, Oct 21, 14 @ 3:21 pm: Not everyone in Illinois gets Channel 7 and 10:30 is not a huge audience time but it does suggest the ennui the voting public is feeling about this race. - DuPage - Tuesday, Oct 21, 14 @ 3:34 pm: I saw enough on the earlier debates. Nothing changed my opinion. - Kasich Walker, Jr. - Tuesday, Oct 21, 14 @ 3:35 pm: The debate was also presented live on broadcast TV in the Chicago market by viewing 7.2. Broadcast TV must be insignificant to Lazare; maybe Nielsen, too. - Conservative Republican - Tuesday, Oct 21, 14 @ 3:38 pm: Not surprising. Tried to “stream” the debate at 6 and the video froze on me. DVR’d the debate because it ran too late for me. Why couldn’t the net’s interrupt such precious viewing as “Dancing with the Stars” to give the debate prime time? A further insult to civic-mindedness in our community. - Rich Miller - Tuesday, Oct 21, 14 @ 3:38 pm: ===also presented live on broadcast TV in the Chicago market by viewing 7.2=== lol Oh, yeah, big numbers there. - A guy... - Tuesday, Oct 21, 14 @ 3:42 pm: How’s it compare to Judy and Sheila? Please don’t ask him to look it up. - Kasich Walker, Jr. - Tuesday, Oct 21, 14 @ 3:47 pm: I wonder if anyone even bothers measuring broadcast TV viewership any more. Maybe if it’s ignored long enough the next generation won’t even consider NOT paying for TV as a “viable” option. - Wordslinger - Tuesday, Oct 21, 14 @ 3:54 pm: Those Channel 2 ratings are probably better than they’re used to at 6 p.m. - Roadiepig - Tuesday, Oct 21, 14 @ 4:04 pm: When my dad was in his nursing home his roomate’s tv was always on the same local channel, whether he was way comb it or even in the room. That’s probably yummier of your 4.2 share “viewers” - Kasich Walker, Jr. - Tuesday, Oct 21, 14 @ 4:09 pm: @Roadiepig — I’m heading there, but I thought most of the homes had cable. Never had cable. Might even drop the internet in 2015. If so, you’ll know any 2014 Kasich Walker, Jr. posts will be made at the local library or maybe the race track — assuming property taxes don’t start bringing the wi-fi home. - Rod - Tuesday, Oct 21, 14 @ 4:13 pm: I didn’t watch this last debate either. After the first two debates the pattern was set and I honestly didn’t expect anything but more of the same. Given how badly Mr. Rauner had melted down on the WTTW over the Chicago Teachers union I have to give both his handlers and him credit for retaining composure during the debates. Mr. Rauner has a very nasty edge to him when he lets it fly, but he kept it within himself. If he should get elected governor, which I hope he does not, I would not want to be his chief of staff. - Because I say so... - Tuesday, Oct 21, 14 @ 4:22 pm: I started watching but fell asleep about 5 minutes in. - Roadiepig - Tuesday, Oct 21, 14 @ 4:29 pm: Whether he was watching or not even in the room. That’s probably most of your 4.2 share Wow I HAVE to start proofreading my text before posting Sorry, comments for this post are now closed.
