My alma mater, CNN, kicked some butt yesterday in its cable coverage of all things inaugural.

Here's the quick data: Nielsen's Fast National data.

11am-2pmET:  Total Viewers:   CNN - 6,941,000    FNC - 4,438,000     MSNBC - 2,571,000

25-54 demo:   CNN - 2,811,000     FNC - 1,379,000     MSNBC - 924,000

One other impressive note.  YouTube's top rated video yesterday was the twenty minute clip from CSPAN of the swearing in and inaugural speech.  More than 2 million views yesterday beating the nearest competitor which had 350,000+ views.
