Comments on: Friday’s Numbers… http://insidecable.blogsome.com/2007/04/02/fridays-numbers-44/ Unvarnished news & opinion on cable news Sun, 26 May 2013 08:32:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: Sam http://insidecable.blogsome.com/2007/04/02/fridays-numbers-44/#comment-30407 Tue, 03 Apr 2007 20:39:06 +0100 http://insidecable.blogsome.com/2007/04/02/fridays-numbers-44/#comment-30407 Tom how are you so sure of the reason why CNBC moved Deal or No Deal, do you work there? Additionally i thought both stations, while belonging to the same parent company; had different management people so i dont see how Keith Olbermann could really have any say in time slot decisions over at CNBC. CNBC doesn't have enough episodes of Deal or no Deal anyway to fit a five days a week demand. Anyhow Lou was number one in the demo for his timeslot, interesting. Glenn beck did really well in his time slot; did he have one of those specials where he predicted the launch of World War iii again. AM got whooped by IMUS, how humiliating. IMUS should enjoy his short lived victories as when Chetry moves to that timeslot i have a feeling numbers will improve.

Has MSNBC done what CNBC did when CNBC moved the Deal or No Deal rerun out of Olbermann's 8 p.m. time slot, to wit: save Olbermann the continual humiliation of finishing FIFTH out of FIVE shows?

I find it very hard to believe that the same amount of people watch on DVR as did live. Especially when the discrepancy is normally more like 10-20,000.

THEY DO NOT SEEM "LOGICAL". What I was saying is way back when the same thing happened I commented about it and if I am correct so did erljr. It was like this case "WAY WAY" more than the normal discrepancy. Spud got agravated with me and explained the whole live vs live+DVR deal. Which I understand, however, today I notice the same illogical difference just like you did. Randy — I know we do not often agree but I was totally agreeing with you about the numbers.

And Mary, the problem I have is that it is such a huge discrepancy. You look at Hardball's numbers. They got 200,000 less viewers than Countdown, but the same in the demo? When was the last time hardball did the same demo numbers as Countdown? Not to mention, the 167,000 average for primetime for MSNBC does not make sense if Olbermann gets 110,000 25-54. It makes more sense if he gets something along the lines of 200,000 in the demo. Chet, I could care less about your little list. And Mary, the problem I have is that it is such a huge discrepancy.
