Dang, look at the numbers for fox and friends. That’s a new low for that show.

I predicted that would happen to Fox and Friends.
I am still bewildered by the removal of E.D. from that show.
Those three were the perfect storm.
Brian and Steve can work their special relaxed magic in most situations. E.D. brought just the perfect amount of finger - wagging at these two. You won’t see the likes of them again. What a waste.

KO is in his usual spot: a distant 3rd place. Looks like he’ll have to start raving like a lunatic again.

I can’t seem to find any ratings info. from previous months. How much has F & F declined since E.D.’s departure?

Nice try, eddiebear. KO was in second in the demo, with over 30% TOTAL viewers than he had been averaging a few months back. And now CNN is going to “pre-empt” Paula Zahn, most likely on the way to cancelling her show.

To museglet:
I’m talking about total ratings. I’m not going to pull a Brian at TVN and claim that “The Demo” matter more and spiking stories that even spud is linking showing that some of the techniques used are bogus. That’s a line Olby defender use. He is still in 3rd in overall ratings, and sometimes falling 4th.
Maybe another unhinged rant or sending himself Borax in the mail will do the trick

If memory serves, Fox and Friends ratings six to ten months ago had numbers just over one million. I remember thinking that the numbers seemed spectacular to me and that they were so far ahead of the competition.
They are still far ahead of the other shows, but the numbers are down. Regardless of the numbers, they are number one in my book!!
I wish I could be more definitive. And I don’t know how to help you search for the numbers, Missy. Sorry.
Maybe someone else has knowledge of these figures.
