That's not at all the way I read it. The summary is at the end, and it agrees with the previous article. http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/367017-Buying_Into_Big_Media_s_Recovery.php?nid=2228&source=title&rid=5250536 "[ ... ] Bernstein Research's Michael Nathanson wrote in a note on Oct. 30, 'The financial performance of national networks [in Q4] will likely be more closely tied to changes in ratings growth and, more specifically, ratings share gains and losses.' He sees upside for Fox and CBS; in cable, he says, Scripps and Discovery are gaining share, while Time Warner, News Corp. and Viacom are losing share."

Just as the USA Today article said, basing their results on Nielsen ratings.
