Soledad O'Brien's documentary "CNN Presents: Escape From Jonestown," was the top-rated show in the adults 25-54 demographic when it premiered on November 13, with 2,352,000 total viewers. The program has had more than 11.5 million viewers in repeat playings.
This marks the fourth consecutive time that documentaries that O'Brien has reported have premiered at #1 in that age group during 2008. The three earlier documentaries were "Eyewitness to Murder: The King Assassination," "The Black Woman & Family," and "The Black Man."

That's a great comment on Soledad's reporting and personality. I'd be curious to now how much input she has on the actual script, narration & reporting. Is she a "talking head" on location or do they give her some part in the process? I think this long form reporting is her strength.
Also, those topics were pretty powerful ones to be doing. Don't send her to Iraq or Afghanistan though...
