| Early morning | 5–9 a.m. | 7 | 30% | 65+ (36%), women-skew |
| Daytime | 9 a.m.–4 p.m. | 6 | 26% | 65+ (40%), women-skew |
| Evening news | 4–7 p.m. | 5 | 22% | 65+ (43%) |

Spot counts are real, from the order’s own schedule. “Who’s watching” is modeled from each daypart’s public audience mix (the same model behind the demographics export), not measured local ratings.
