Few watched Ted's TV tributes
 Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy's death apparently reached the saturation point quickly with TV audiences. His death overnight was news at 6 a.m. on Wednesday. By 8 p.m., few people cared to watch the tributes to him on television. At 8 p.m., CBS-TV's "Ted Kennedy: The Last Brother" drew but 4.6 million viewers. Its rating of 0.9 (among people 18-49 -- the prime target of advertisers) was the lowest among the four major networks. Third-place was a rerun of "Bones," which had a 1.2 rating with 4.5 million viewers. At 10 p.m., ABC's "Remembering Ted Kennedy" drew less than 4 million viewers, easily last in that timeslot.Posted by: Fred 2009-08-28 |
