Here's how the cable news channels compare with each other in a few categories. Even though they're all basically set up the same, there still are a couple of differences. Weekend shows are included in the comparisons and the re-airing of shows later in the evening are not. Pundits are also not included. Bloomberg News was left out due to the lack of interest.
