I find this helpful

[quantim]

I can't believe that many watch Greta. More likely the TV is just left on...

[KoRn]

The 'Cable News Race' is no longer a race. The only uncertainty left in what the se numbers will be is how low Chrissy and Olberman will be.

"Come on man, use new lines for each one"

It's easy to read either way. Seriously people.

"It's easy to read either way. Seriously people."

Maybe for you, but what is easiest for your audience?

"I can't believe that many watch Greta. More likely the TV is just left on..."

No, each and every night, Greta gives a teaser during "Hannity & Colmes" that promises a major break in the Aruba missing person case. Every night it turns out to be another disappointment. It is slimy promotion, that's all.

thanks, jdm

There are RADIO STATIONS (albeit with strong signals) who have more listeners than the nationwide MSNBC people.

[Bar-Face]

This is not a rhetorical question. Who is MSNBC TUCKER? 296,000 viewers? my God there are local shows in major metropolitan areas with more viewers.

[tubebender]

I wonder what Hume's numbers would be if he were in a later time slot...

[razzle]

I'd like to see Brit Hume doing a show during O'Reilly's slot.

[NapkinUser]

Tucker Carlson?

[Road Warrior ‘04]

I wonder what Hume's numbers would be if he were in a later time slot...

His numbers would be huge! Many folks (not me) are watching their local evening news during his time slot. If they flopped him and Shep, the would numbers would grow!

[Biblebelter]

I do not follow these ratings too closely, but it seems to me CNN is gaining some ground against H & C and Greta.

[billorites]

I cannot understand why people watch O'Reilly.

He's a humorless putz.

[bigsigh]

I remember when O'R passed King and now it's double. WoW!

Thanks for the link. I know just enough HTML to be dangerous. Now I'll know enough to be REALLY dangerous.
