Stock market has lousy week; CNBC has great week

The stock market tanking last week was great news for CNBC. The business channel's rating were at its best last week as the market has its worst week ever.

For Business Day programming (5am-7pm ET), CNBC averaged 570,000 Total Viewers the week of Oct. 6. That's up 5% from the previous high set the week before. CNBC also had its best week in 7 1/2 years in the A25-54 demo averaging 153,000 viewers.

People may be watching, but are there going to be any companies left to advertise on CNBC?
