FBN averages 81,000 viewers Monday

The New York Times reports that 81,000 was the average number of people tuning in to watch Fox Business Network for any given hour from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Monday. The number indicates success, surely, but there is still a long road ahead for FBN to challenge CNBC on a daily basis.
From the story:

The figure is a milestone for the nearly year-old channel, which had never drawn an audience large enough to be considered statistically reliable by Nielsen for an extended time period. Still, the achievement was relatively small and fleeting: during the same period, on Monday, as the House rejected a bailout bill and the Dow closed down nearly 778 points, CNBC drew an average of nearly 900,000 viewers, 10 times that for Fox Business. Two general-interest news channels that covered the markets extensively averaged more than both. The Fox News Channel had 2.68 million viewers, and CNN had 1.88 million.
