That's not at all the way I read it.

The summary is at the end, and it agrees with the previous article.

"[ ... ] 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."

So, winners and losers both in the cable nets and in the TV networks, and Fox 
and CBS are the clear winners in the TV networks. Just as the USA Today article 
said, basing their results on Nielsen ratings.
