I watched every minute of the convention last night and felt that while the prime time hour on the Networks started flat with a 9/11 tribute (maybe that should have been at the 9pm EST hour to avoid charges of politicizing 9/11), the second half of the hour was positively electrifying.

TO bad few people tuned in. First night insta-ratings...

THE BIG YAWN: NETWORKS IN RATINGS FREEFALL AT CONVENTION, OPENING NIGHT ALL-TIME LOW: ABCNEWS JENNINGS WITH 3.5 RATING/5 SHARE [DOWN FROM 4.5/8 IN 2000]; NBCNEWS BROKAW 3.3/5 [2000:4.8/9]; CBS DAN RATHER 3.2/5 [2000:3.8/7... TRAIL ALL OTHER PRIME-TIME MONDAY PROGRAMMING [CBS:MIAMI RERUN ON CBS PULLS 8.6 RATING/13 SHARE]...

Is this a problem?
