1) That’s around the ratings FOX News was getting at the end of it’s first year! It’s only been a few weeks for FBN.

2) On top of that, FBN has a far smaller niche audience to draw from than did FOX News.

3) As Ira stated, they have a tiny percentage of CNBC’s distribution at this stage. That will expand exponentially over the years, also helped by News Corp.’s acquisition of The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, MarketWatch, etc.

4) FOX News _ALREADY_ has the 5 top rated business shows on cable! How convenient for those ultra-liberal reporters to poo-poo FBN’s ratings, and conveniently ‘forget’ to mention this in their reporting.

5) FOX executives have shown with FNC that their strategy is in evolving things to perfection, not pre-perfecting shows before putting them on the air.

So I hope someone is saving all these articles and posts trashing FBN, because in a couple of years, they’ll ALL change their tune to blaming it’s high ratings on “low-IQ business viewers”, or “conservative moneymen” watching religiously, or FBN “taking the easy route” and stoop to people’s base natures and using sex to sell business news by flaunting all the ‘come-hitherly women’.

Aaron: What FBN needs is to get into more homes. As has been discussed here (and obviously ignored by you), until they broke the Comcast glass ceiling last week, they were probably in less than 10 million homes, about 10% of the CNBC reach.

Lurker: Actually, I like “Happy Hour.” Sure it needs some work but it has definite potential.

Otherwise, I find it tough getting used to the slower pace and longer segments than what FNC offers.

Oh yea, You were talking about FBN blogs awhile back?

I found Cheryl Casone’s by accident

Seems they might all be blogging but they’re not setup yet except maybe Cheryl? Her’s is probably not suppose to be live yet? cause you can’t find her blog going through the site.

I prefer less of it but I can hack it. As for cutting his air time? Since I agree with his politics I like the guy but I would drop his 7 pm show. Him and Liz have a nice chemistry going BUT I think I like Cheryl Casone paired up with Liz better. There are tons of guys as panelists that missing a male co-anchor wouldn’t hurt the male/female dynamics that are needed in a show.

As for Asman, I really don’t like him too much…personally I can do without him.

Isn’t Eric Bolling’s non-compete up soon? Happy Hour was probably one of the hits Fox was counting on based on all the things they’ve said in the past about the show but when the leaked ratings came out that Magee guy said some of the bright spots were Liz and Dave, Alexis’ new show at 9, Dave Ramsey and somewhat Cavuto at 6.

No mention of Happy Hour at all. Poor #’s? Maybe Fox will have a new show headed up by Bolling that is similar to Fast Money and put it head to head with it at 5. Bolling was by far the fan favorite on that show.

Drop David Asman’s show at 7, 4 hours of him is too much and put Happy Hour at the new 7 timeslot.

And for this, they went to B-school? They remind me of catty fifteen-year-olds on MySpace.

And I wouldn’t be taking these ratings at face value…don’t forget FM airs at 5pm AND 8pm, while K&C only aired (and still airs) once. According to CNBC’s releases, FM had its best performance in the 8pm timeslot despite the 5pm airing. Spin away, Fox!
