As if things aren't already bad enough for Peter Jennings — and they really are; even we don't make jokes about a man with aggressive lung cancer — today's Los Angeles Times brings more bad news: His show, World News Tonight, is doing just fine without him. Indeed, not only have ratings remained constant relative to the competition, but ABC is even picking up in one key area:

In the last six weeks, "World News Tonight" actually won the largest share of younger viewers, ages 25 to 54, the key advertising demographic for news programs.

Of course, Charlie Gibson has two daughters. Which probably doubled the number of evening-news viewers in the non-Depends demographic.
