someone needs to do some investigating about these numbers. they swing so wildly from day to day.. beck’s numbers doubled in the demo from yesterday to today.. it doesnt make any sense.

Wow…MSNBC really stunk it up from morning to night…#4 across the board (was Slobberman there last night?)…I guess Joe must have seen the ratings for Wednesday and thought crawling on the desks might let him beat Robin & Co for a change…

I enjoy the Factor. I don’t always agree with Bill, but he the show moving and keeps his guests on task (sometimes by yelling at them)which some folks don’t like. He gets the best rating because his show is good. Also, I notice he gets a nice Demo number.

Slobberman? Seriously? What you 12?
Spud didn’t you post about civility a few weeks ago?
Comment by Steve — June 7, 2007 @ 7:17 pm
I use Slobberman as my way of showing affection for Keith…no harm done. And funny how NO ONE has had a problem with me using it for weeks (if not months) until you right now…

Just because we didn’t say anything, anon, doesn’t mean acceptance. I’ve just learned there’s no point in asking mental middle schoolers to upgrade their discourse to almost-grownup on forums like this.

Beck wasn’t there last night. Smerconish (sp?) subbed. He’s good, but doesn’t have Beck’s passion for causes.
GVS had great numbers. The Kelsey murder probably drew the audience, knowing Greta focuses on such stories.
Comment by Grandpa D — June 7, 2007 @ 7:54 pm
I guess Keith’s exclusive with Joe Wilson didn’t do much. Joe hit rock bottom this morning when he said he liked the New York Times and liked the direction Bill Keller has taken the NYT.
Comment by Alix — June 7, 2007 @ 8:02 pm
its true, beck is on vacation (doing his “tour”) which is why the numbers make even less sense.
Comment by Chris (My Two Sense) — June 7, 2007 @ 8:04 pm
Chris: As a fanatic, I would think you would have known Beck was absent without reading about it here.
However, Beck has been doing his radio show.

well, first off i reject the term fanatic..
but of course i knew he was on vacation, i was confirming the fact that he wasnt there last night and adding hes on vacation, not just out today.
Comment by Chris (My Two Sense) — June 7, 2007 @ 8:41 pm
These numbers have been all over the place! Crazy. NG kicked KO pretty good I’d say!
Comment by Peoplepeople — June 7, 2007 @ 8:54 pm
It’s been at least three days since some genius writing for an American newspaper has claimed (falsely) that Keith “Second Place” Olbermann has a “firm lock” on “second place” particularly among “younger” viewers. How much longer will we have to wait for the next fawning tribute making the same bogus claims?

No matter if you love or hate Fox News, any fair minded observer must admit, their ratings are impressive. Although I like Brian, Steve and Gretchen, Fox and Friends is one of the few FNC shows that I don’t watch. However, it is obvious that I’m in the minority as the ratings reveal that F&F is far and away, consistently, the #1 morning program on cable news.
Has anyone ever seen the Morning Show with Mike and Juliet on Fox Broadcast? I watched a few minutes yesterday and it seems like a pretty good show. As with F&F, I’m just not a big fan of the lighter entertainment programing. Nonetheless, I wish Mike and Juliet well and hope their morning show can survive for the long term on broadcast TV.

Good numbers for AC360.
Comment by Marty — June 8, 2007 @ 1:04 am
Impressive numbers yea…impressive programming NO! Just don’t see what the drive is that makes people watch. If it’s all the opining…sorry…the only opinion that counts in my book is mine!
Comment by Me — June 8, 2007 @ 2:26 am
Morning Joe did worse that Tucker Live. He is so out of his element, poor guy, I’m actually starting to feel sorry for him.
Comment by Mel — June 8, 2007 @ 8:51 am
MSNBC should stop doing news, and just show documentaries all day… their ratings would increase!
Comment by Chet — June 8, 2007 @ 9:20 am
does anyone have any specific information about a) Imus’ lawsuit with CBS? and b) where and when he may surface again? Missing him desperately.
Comment by cas — June 8, 2007 @ 9:37 am
Beck has been on vacation all week and thats why his numbers have been down all week. I usually enjoy his show every night, but this week i haven’t watched. It’s not the same without him hosting. He’s the man!
Comment by jarrod — June 8, 2007 @ 11:28 am
cas, no lawsuit has been filed which is interesting. Rumor is Imus is angling to get back on the air. The boycotts are working because it’s all about money in the end and turning your back on your viewers and consumers (P&G) was not a smart business decision.
Comment by mel — June 8, 2007 @ 12:01 pm
All I see are negs on Morning Joe—I like it alot—more
interesting than any Cable news show–Mica is lovely and smart.
