Lou Dobbs 7 Days a Week
CNN is launching a weekend edition of Lou Dobbs’ nightly news and commentary program.
"Lou Dobbs This Week” will air in the 6 p.m. slot on Saturday and Sunday, the same time period as his weekday show "Lou Dobbs Tonight,” and will include reports from earlier in the week and new segments taped on Fridays.
Dobbs’ weekday show averages 762,000 viewers this year, up 22 percent from the same period last year, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
That’s far behind Fox News Channel’s Brit Hume, with 1.35 million total viewers in that time slot. But Dobbs is far ahead of No. 3 Tucker Carlson on MSNBC, with 252,000 viewers.
Dobbs – author of the new book "The War on the Middle Class” – has built a growing audience by focusing on immigration, border security and economic issues affecting middle-class Americans.

"To his credit, Lou didn’t come up with these topics in focus groups,” CNN/U.S. president Jon Klein told the Inquirer. "He did them before anyone was talking about them, because they were important.”
