Nothing like a boycott to really hurt ratings.
Glenn Beck had his highest viewership ever Thursday averaging 3.34M Total Viewers. His was the second-highest rated program in Total Viewers in cable news behind The O'Reilly Factor's 3.61M.
And Beck was even bigger with the ad-friendly demo, putting up his second best numbers since the show premiered in January. In A25-54 viewers, Beck was #1 for the day, and remember, his show airs at 5pmET/2pmPT when viewers aren't in front of their TVs like they are at 8, 9 or 10pm. Although, last night many of those primetime viewers were siphoned off from all other channels, and instead watching the NFL's first regular season game on NBC which drew 17.75M Total Viewers.
— Total Viewers / A25-54 demo
• Beck - 3,340,000 / 958K
• O'Reilly - 3,609,000 / 918K
• Hannity - 2,986,000 / 831K
Beck is trying to give Palin a run for the money on who liberals hate the most.
If he keeps that crap up, his numbers will start to slide.
poetic justice.
that’s what that is
I don’t have tv at my house. i DO however have XM radio and listen to him everyday. How many others listen to Beck on the way home from work? numbers will still go up.
On top of that, there are SO many choices as far as news on XM Radio. nothing beats beck.
I hope I’m not wrong but something smells fishy about the ACORN sting. These two kids who pulled off the expose did the whole thing themselves? The cute little 20 year old who pretended to be a prostitute says she “drained her savings” to pay for the project; the guy who filmed the thing who looks hardly more than 25 helped her with it after she pitched the idea to him? They both look like upper middle class types who would know very little about prostitutes and the sex trade. The girl claimed she didn’t even know what ACORN was but they didn’t look like nice people when she ran into them when she accidentally jogged in a bad neighborhood. Is this all for real or did someone at Fox put them up to it? Beck better be careful this doesn’t blow up in his face.
I usually dont watch pundit shows but did tune in yesterday for the ACORN expose and really liked the style of his show.
Oreilly is unbearable and Hannity grew stale a few years ago. Becks TV show has now caught my eye.
I told my wife about his suggestion that Wendys fries and a Frosty should be a combo meal, she agrees.
I would also love to get a recording of his Passion of the Christ with Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon.
Glenn did not put them up to it..
in fact, the couple got the video to Breitbart, and then THEY contacted Glenn....
It’s purely a matter of time of day. 5 pm is not prime time. If Glenn had the 8 pm hour, his ratings would be even higher than Oreilly’s for that time slot.
Glenn’s numbers at 5 pm are unprecedented.
His time slot 5-6, remember the people that are most likely to watch him really do work for a living.
uhhhhh Time slot!
And on the West Coast he is on at two in the afternoon, not exactly a prime time for TV viewing.
BOR is obviously jealous that he is no longer the star and lightning rod of FNC. As for the sponsors, they walked away from a lot of eyeballs when they abandoned Beck. They probably regret it.
BTTT!
Is Elliot spitzer white and upper middle class? Please, white upper class people don't know about street walkers, cocain, or the ghetto? These kids had a great idea and were helped by Andy Brietbart. ACORN has been operating in the open with impunity for years. So has Rev Wright, and all the commie community organizers like Obama. I don't care where this info came from it is deeply incriminating. The whole mortgage meltdown was engineered by these activist prostitutes for the radical left. I'll tell you something else. these kids did more that just Baltimore and Washington offices. They totally played the ACORN leadership for the fools they are. They released Baltimore and watched the reaction.They flushed the rats out of their holes and watched the reaction like a cat playing with a mouse. When the clowns fired the workers in panic to cover their shit up it was checkmate. Washington was released tonight and more employees were fired. They are now caught covering up what is obviously accepted organizational behavior. Do you understand that when these kids filmed this response it exposed the ACORN operational model. I would bet that there is more to come and that the absolute worst will be exposed when the Obama media will be forced to cover these already released material.
I see Andy Brietbart as the prime mover in all this. The major fallout will be the exposure of the state run media as accomplises in the left’s attempt to turn America into a totalitarian socialist oligarchy.These leftist are playing for keeps. The polarization of America wil continue at a rapid pace, events will accelerate at warp speed and everyone will be forced to pick a side. the chaos of the sixties/seventies will look like a peaceful walk in the park in comparison. Its time for RADICAL CONSERVATISM baby, bring that shit on. I watch those videos and see all that is wrong with "politically correct" America. To those "organizers" anything is permissable as long as it advances their cause, the destruction of traditional America and the American way of life. REMEMBER THIS! THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WORKED FOR ACORN!!!!!!
You’re right, BOR called Joe Wilson a pinhead, but Joe Wilson’s comment was selected by that Juliet Huddy(?) person.
I don’t know whose favor she was trying to garner.
Beck is on the fast track to superstar status.
