Wouldn't it be a kick if Lou Dobbs went over to FOX?
HAAAA! Yeah that would be killer.
Also note that a now show for Glenn Beck although he may be too new to show. I wouldn't be surprised if he crashes and burns though. He's spread himself too thin IMO.

Lou Dobbs is democrat a**hole and a Bush hater.

You are correct. Larry King is CNNs highest rated show.
So... the REPEAT of O'Reilly does better than ANYTHING CNN puts out?
Yeah, that is pretty cool! But O'reilly is on at a really ackward time. 5pm is when people are trying to get home, so I'd imagine the rerun numbers would be pretty high.
Cable still has such a teeny, tiny percent of viewers. I remember getting a call from Nielson asking if the network I was working for was "off the air" because it was only registering 2 million viewers...and that was daytime.
HHHAAAA! YES, the REPEAT of O'Reily gets MORE viewers then anything on MSNBC or CNN
Ailes 'Fuming' at Fox News Channel
Wow Fox is killing them in every time slot. I'd only ever seen the prime time numbers. Fox is way ahead around the clock, and not just from 8-11PM.
ahem...sorry, I meant "awkward".
We should flood email CNN - 'you guys can't even place above RE-RUNS of FNC shows?'
Yeah, we'll really know we're winning when Brit is at the top of the list.
Which is irrelevant because we are not comparing cable to anything BUT other cable shows. If you want to compare apples to oranges how about the fact that the Top 5 Conservative Talk Radio hosts reach more people each day then any of the nightly news casts?
From the looks of the ratings it seems Rita Cosby going to MSNBC was a good move for FNC.
"Wouldn't it be a kick if Lou Dobbs went over to FOX?"
Neil Cavuto (FOX's finance pro) is a real conservative, not smug jerk like Lou Dobbs.
So now we know what Keith Overbite and "Countdown to no ratings" was talking about when he said he was the third highest rated show. On MSNBC, he was 3rd. Overall he was 26th.
MSNBC - so bad even the libs don't watch.
I've never heard that. That's really cool! Do you know which talk show hosts?
Rush
Hannity
Savage
and so on
I think even Gallagher is in the top 10 now.
Good Lord, I can't type today. I meant, which "Talk Radio Hosts".
I was responding to your claim..."Why We're Winning". Only a fraction of Americans have cable and only a fraction of them watch the news. Obviously the FOX News numbers don't hurt, but I'd give more credit to talk radio.
who are the 1.8 viewers that watch O Reilly?
Actually based on viewers he is 5th. He has less then Scarborugh and Matthews as well as Imus then their is their tops show "MSNBC Investigates". I have NO idea where Keith slimebucket gets the "3rd" claim from. I guess it is wholly based on whatever the number in the 3rd column is. Based on the other two rankings he comes in dead last.
Dobbs on FNC? Sure, get rid of Greta!
My opinion of Tucker Carlson is improving.
Yup!
Please put Brit on in Gretta's time slot!
Your are right Deb, I miss understood your point.
Rush, Hannity, Savage, Ingraham.

"LARDBALL" ??? It's ----'NOBALLS'
Dobbs is a big Goverment Socialists. He is merely lying about being "A life long Republican" same way the DNC Seminary Callers do. Either that or he is a "Life Long Rupublican in the same way Rino's Senators Chaffe and Specter are "Republicans." It is just part of his marketing spin. Don't fixate on the Anti Illegal ranting and he is pure 100% Howie Dean big Govt Liberal on every other issue.
Rush, Hannity, Savage, Ingraham.

I'm hoping Hewitt is up there too. IMHO, he is the best.
"Yeah, that is pretty cool! But O'reilly is on at a really ackward time. 5pm is when people are trying to get home, so I'd imagine the rerun numbers would be pretty high."
5:00 only on the west coast.
I guess it depends on where you are. he's on at 7 PM Central where I am and then repeats at 10PM.
Rush, Hannity, Savage, Ingraham.

Brit is so far superior to the rest of those listed its nuts that he is on at 3:00 pm PDT.
I'm guessing most of the ratings for the rerun come from the west coast then.
With numbers like those, Olbermann should be counting down to the days he is fired. What a pathetic loser, spends all his time attacking O'Reilly
Hewitt has a 1 share. That is respectiable for his time slot. He is on at a lousy time for most people to listen.
Third from the bottom.
Where the hell is the Sage of South Central on that list??
Oh yeah, move Brit to a better time slot and he would waste all of them combinded.
