I don't normally post a cable news program chart to the weekly cable ratings, but with all the events from last week, quite a few of them had an increase in viewership.
THE O'REILLY FACTOR was the #2 over all program last week, drawing 7.6 million viewers to his Friday show. This episode was happening as Boston police and FBI were in the middle of the capture of the second suspect in the Boston bombings. In fact, both FOX NEWS and CNN drew high viewership on that Friday evening.
