Anderson is really low now.
Glenn Beck is on a Tare….he is Bill Oreilly’s replacement or Hannity’s replacement in the near future….
Imagine if Beck was on Primetime?????
I bet he would even beat my good man Oreilly by a million….
Speaking of numbers. The census bureau said they will not use ACORN for the 2010 census. MAN!!! GLENN BECK is just chewing them up and spiting them out. DAMN!!! Who is next???? We have a list. It’s top secret you leftist can’t see it. LOL! MARXIST=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same Ask ACORN.
FOX is the news to watch. I am in constant amazement every time I look at their numbers. And now we have added Stossel to the mix on FNC and FBN as well as Imus to FBN and you have the beginnings of a dynasty.
If the trend continues, Beck will end O’Reilly’s #1 streak from a rather unassuming time slot. Hannity and Van Susteren might be sweating bullets if the Fox execs start to put Beck in prime time and bump one of them down to 5pm.
If people are not watching Glenn Beck, they have their heads buried in the sand (actually another place). He is opening the eyes of his viewers — exposing the brutal truth that the mainstream media is not telling because they are in bed with the Obamanists. As word spreads, more and more people will be watching, because their future — and the future of the country — will depend upon it.
Glenn Beck is doing a public service. Keep it up. He’ll do well in any time slot. Congressional hearings are a joke compared to Fox’s digging and telling the real story. Keep it up, Fox, in all time slots.
Glenn Beck is doing great! I’m sure the ACORN story yesterday gave him some boost too.
and the fixed news koolaid is alive and well
Good job Beck, FOX NEWS was the 3rd most watched channel in all of cable last week only trailing ESPN and USA, FOX kicks @ss!!!!!!!
Olby is on the way out by the way, you heard it here first. My prediction is that he doesn’t last past October.
Can you please post the other shows ratings like Neil Cavutos time slot and Megyn Kelley and Bill Hemmer’s? I think they do very well also but would like to see the numbers in this regular report. PLEASE.
How many of you Fox views Black, Hispanic, Asian or Gay?….Let me guess, NONE!….The GOP is nothing but a grumpy white man club. With the surge of Hispanics, Black, Asians Gays and young White college age people, the Dems are getting Bigger and BIGGER.
Well hannity will never be at 5 because his more lucrative radio show doesn’t even end until then. I could see Greta moved to 11 and hannity moved to 10. I like Greta and Sean a little bt beck MUST be moved to primetime.
GO BECK!
Yup….as more of you old white guys die off, your grand old party will get smaller and smaller. You old farts are so out of touch with America. Dems/Libs will just get larger and larger.
Len, I think you should apologize for that blatent slander, you should now better. They are plenty of rabid right wingers of color, which is a good thing btw.
In comparing last year’s numbers to his years,we find
Hannity & Colmes—3,065,000 viewers (928,000) (1,497,000)
September 10, 2009
Hannity –2,986,000 viewers (831,000) (1,322,000)
That is a drop of almost 80,000 viewers overall, and a drop of 97,000 in the 24-54 demo, which is about 15%.
O’Reilly did not have a show on Thursday September 11, 2008, so no year to year comparison is possible for this date.
This makes three days this week. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday that Hannity’s ratings have dropped from their year ago equivalent. Wednesdays ratings were skewed by President’s Obama’s address. For example on Wednesday September 10 , 2008, Countdown with Keith Olbermann had 1,670,000, while on Wednesday September 9, 2009, it shot up to 2,304,000 viewers due to the President’s address, an increase of over 40%. Hannity’s ratings also increased due to the President’s address from 3,163,000 viewers to 3,499,000 viewers, an increase of 10%
If we compare primetime numbers for Fox on the two dates, it shows:
Thursday, September 11, 2008
FNC – 3,111,000 viewers, 18-54(858,000 viewers)
Thursday, September 10, 2008
FNC – 3,042,000 viewers, 18-54 (813,000 viewers)
So Fox dropped 69,000 viewers in primetime from last years and in the 18-54 category,it dropped 45,000, about 5%. Sir Rupert Murdoch, who owns Fox News through his News Corp., which lost 3.8 billion dollars last year, cannot be happy over these ratings numbers.
Isn’t it funny watching these leftist coming unhindged. You guys fell down on the job so get out of the way your not needed anymore. WE THE PEOPLE are The New Mainstream Media. SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!!! We have cameras everywhere. We are taping all of you nutjobs. And we have more tapes to be released very soon. DRIP DRIP DRIP. POOR LITTLE PEOPLE LOL!!! We also have tapes of The Great Messiah!!! Get ready. MARXIST=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same. Ask the pimps and slave owners at ACORN.
Philosopher, ratings for last year really aren’t comparable because of the run-up to the election.
What a bunch of unhinged people on these threads.
CNN really seems to be hurting these last few months – they’ve been usurped by MSNBC for second in every single timeslot. MSNBC should launch a 10pm show.
