CBS Wins Another Primetime Week
NEW YORK (AP) — The election may be over, but Donald Trump is still providing dividends for Fox News Channel.
The news network aired a special Friday with TMZ’s Harvey Levin getting a personal tour of the president-elect’s home in Trump Tower and being shown some of his memorabilia. It drew more than 4 million viewers, more than anything the network aired on a Friday this year.
Fox repeated the special, filmed in September, on both Saturday and Sunday nights.
The network averaged more than 3 million viewers in primetime all week, leading all cable networks, the Nielsen company said Tuesday.
