Comments on: Tuesday’s Numbers… http://insidecable.blogsome.com/2006/10/05/tuesdays-numbers-14/ Unvarnished news & opinion on cable news Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:49:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: future tv mogul http://insidecable.blogsome.com/2006/10/05/tuesdays-numbers-14/#comment-17122 Fri, 06 Oct 2006 11:38:32 +0100 http://insidecable.blogsome.com/2006/10/05/tuesdays-numbers-14/#comment-17122 I think you guys make too much of the daily ratings.What you are seeing is a picture for that day nothing indicative of anything.Sometimes there are anomalies.That is why there is no way to know for sure if MBNBC's Countdown is really growing this fast.Yes, KO is having a good couple of weeks but will this continue for a couple of months.I am not sure if KO is just putting on a show for ratings or if it is the real deal.I for one find MSNBC hard to watch these days. It has become too much of a circus.Consider me a former fan of Countdown.It was once a decent news show. I am not sure what it is now.Same for MSNBC.Keep Nacny Grace in mind for an analogy.The reason why I draw this comparision is this: I am not sure either of them are bringing in newsies or people tuning in for the cirus.At some point it becomes to perdictable and not interesting.Since MSNBC will likely feel the bulk of the 125 million NBC is going to cut, it is scary to think what the channel will become.In recent weeks, I have heard buzz about an MSNBC tuneout.KO has become the same thing he accuses FNC of being (partisan).It is really sad in this day and time anyting for ratings.I must say I never thought I would see the day when FNC would be trying to add more news and MSNBC making itself a news parody.I've had enough, MSNBC is off my list like Headline's primetime lineup.

Once they strike oil, the rest of the world will get involved with help. They need to take all of the aid money and dig for oil in Africa.

Wonderful programming; says something about the taste of the viewing public that it didn't win the hour(s). Agree with all three of you.

He is over there covering a story of significance, yet very few people watch. It is in fact sad that more people are watching the situation regarding Anna Nicole. You’re both right, of course.

Though it does not win the ratings game, it will stimulate giving to the aid groups. I will contribute immediately to as many as I can and also to the Diane Fossey Gorilla foundation.

Too bad Americans are more interested in who the father of Anna Nicole's baby is, rather than the devestation in Africa :\ Anderson Cooper - 742,000 viewers (197,000)

What a shame…his programming from Africa is absolutely amazing. Too bad Americans are more interested in who the father of Anna Nicole’s baby is, rather than the devestation in Africa :\
