Because, yes, the president snagged his biggest SOTU crowd on the Fox broadcast network, compliments of an "American Idol" lead-in. Bush's address clocked about 8.2 million viewers on Fox, according to Nielsen stats.
On our market's WB station, WBDC, the teen-angst Superman drama "Supernatural" enjoyed about 67,000 viewers at 9 p.m., winding up with about 103,000 viewers at 10 p.m. News Corp.-owned UPN stations that carried the State of the Union address also include the station in New York City -- the nation's largest TV market.
Which may help explain why, nationally, "Supernatural" set a new all-time series ratings record with an average of nearly 6 million viewers, leading WB to put out a news release with the following headline: "Great Sampling Opportunity Is Not Missed Against the State of the Union
Address."
