NEW YORK -- On the Record With Greta Van Susteren caught fire this month, with the show's constant focus on the disappearance of an Alabama teenager in the Caribbean island nation of Aruba leading the show to second place in the ratings behind fellow Fox News Channel show The O'Reilly Factor. Host Greta Van Susteren's show had its highest-viewed month of the year in June, according to data released Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research. It averaged 1.8 million viewers for the month, up 45% from year-ago levels. That gave it a slight edge on Hannity & Colmes, its lead-in, which averaged 1.8 million viewers during the month. The cable news leader remains The O'Reilly Factor, which averaged 2.2 million viewers in June.

NEW YORK -- As cable news services draw record numbers of viewers, the broadcast networks are foundering. Fox News Channel earned its highest household rating ever on Monday night, a 6.3 for On the Record With Greta Van Susteren at 10 p.m. ET. With 6.71 million viewers, the show was the second-most-watched program in Fox history behind The O'Reilly Factor on March 19, according to Nielsen Media Research. Viewing levels for the Big Three networks' nightly newscasts last week actually dropped by 1% even as cable viewership more than tripled in primetime and quadrupled over the entire day. Even at the 6 p.m. ET hour against the broadcast newscasts, cable viewership has doubled since the war began. For example, Fox's Special Report With Brit Hume has averaged 3.8 million viewers since the war, compared with 1.6 million for the previous month.
