Bari Weiss's CBS Erika Kirk Town Hall Falters In the Ratings, Way Behind Kirk's Fox News Appearances [View all]

(Mediaite) A town hall between CBS Editor in Chief Bari Weiss and Erika Kirk stumbled in the ratings, falling far behind Kirk’s appearances on Fox News.

The heavily-promoted Saturday town hall drew 1.9 million viewers, according to Nielsen data. That represents an 11% decline for the year-to-date average for that hour of 8 pm EST. It also marked a 41% decline in the key demo of 25-54, bringing in 265,000.

It wasn’t all bad news for CBS. The drawing marked a 32% increase in season-to-date ratings in the time period, as well as a 19% upward shot in the 25-54 demo.
