It’s a really slick site but they don’t have anyone intelligent on there yet. They need me and Darla, Sharon, GBD, Masscomm Student and the rest of us so they’ll have some REAL discussions. Nobody deletes you over there as long as you don’t get pornographic or really nasty. They even have a place there called the basement where you can talk about anything at all. It doesn’t have to be about MSNBC or FNC ratings or politics. You can talk about recipes or whatever. It’s really cool!

…all the same just ask Anita Dunn!

Have you ever heard of this saying “if it is working beyond your wildest expectations, don’t get too greedy”?

Moving Beck into Hannity’s or Greta’s slot means moving either Hannity or Greta OUT, possibly uspetting 2M+ viewers in the process. Merely swapping players doesn’t guarantee they’ll carry their audiences along with the move. Moreover, none of the players is near losing his/her edge in their current time slots, and contractual obligations may be involved as well.

Glenn Beck is exposing the truth.

It could be that Greta’s viewership is strong enough to support her time slot.

Beck is doing so well in the 5pm slot, no need to move him. People are finding him, no matter where he is on the tube.

Hannity holds his own and is the one true ultra conservative voice on Fox. Glenn is conservative, but is more opinion, Hannity, more commentary.

Why mess with success???

Im just curious, Do you know / have you heard as to why FOX has not been willing to move Glenn Beck into a “primetime” slot. He now beats Hannity and Greta handily everynight. I realize he hosts a radio show in the morning so there might be a csheduling conflict. it just seems with numbers like his the move would be automatic .. just curious, thanks.

But again he is commenting on relevant news, and I’m guessing he is the highest show in his time slot.

You’re a broken record… or maybe just broken period. Now go back to class! Or try to find some at the very least.

“2) It seems that Republicans haven’t learned how to use the internets…”

__Hmmm, Seems your wrong there. I myself am an independent, but I see many republicans around these parts here beating types like you up. And I do seem to recall that it was a DEMOCRAT (several actually) that, just recently as a matter of FACT, that told the American public they didn’t know how to get the bill they were writing onto the website/INTERNET so that we could review the proposals being presented in the HCB!

“myself.. I watch CSPAN if I’m watching TV.. or PBS..”

__You must lead a very boring life is all I can say on that one.

“But I spend far more time on the internet reading the news and watching videos..”

__I too “read” the news (limited to top stories) on my front page when I open up the browser, however most (not all) stories tend to contain more of the writers opinion in some cases, so I take the validity of most with a grain of salt. Their main purpose (for me) is just a general feel for what’s going on that day. On those videos you mentioned… they wouldn’t be of an naughty kinky nature would they? C’mon… you wouldn’t lie to us now would you?

“the internet is far more convenient for news.. you see what you want when you want – not simply whats on..”

__Can’t argue too much there, I myself find it convenient especially on the weekends when I don’t watch news on TV unless there’s a major story to be seen. But one mustn’t rely on it for it’s sole source.

But with the posts above that you made, the interpretation by most people would be that you might not even know how to use a remote for the TV! That’s sad. And for your stats that you presented all of us with, quite impressive, but means nothing (to me at least) except for MAYBE it’s a sign that you “geeks” need to get out more often. There’s so much out there to explore in the “real” world.

If you added radio programming stats (AM, FM, Satellite) to the argument here, then you and all the rest would lose hands down and this continuous argument would be finally over once and for all. ‘Nuff said. You’ve convinced all of us that whatever your computer tells you to do, you’ll do it… “Hal?… Open the doors Hal… I’m sorry, I can’t do that Dave…”

Fox News IS a “news” station between the hours of 9am and 5pm. Again, from 6pm to 8pm.

It is their evening programming 8pm till 11pm, that is commentary and opinion. As is the 5pm Glenn Beck program.

Same holds true for MSNBC. Their commentary and opinion shows run from 8pm till 11pm. Of course, Chris Matthews, supposedly is a journalist? though, his show is now based solely on opinion, during the 5pm and 7pm hours.

and another one for september..

I’m sure these ratings will change as soon as the red states get broadband access though.. =D

You are such a loser Kennedy. Conservatives don’t have all day to ‘play’ on the internet. We go to WORK every day, unlike you left wing moonbats, who are sitting on your ever widening asses all day, everyday defrauding SSI & welfare.

Get a job punk!

Since 2004, FOX went from 0 to #6 in 5 years, has an audience that is already 42% the size of MSNBC, and grew 48% from 2007 to 2008. While MSNBC added 3,294,495 to their unique audience total FOX increased by 5,445,730. What would make sense for FOX now is to buy/merge with AOL or YAHOO.

Now for the really bad news for MSNBC. Only 21% of people polled by Gallup in June 2009 consider themselves liberal. Conservatives and moderates weigh in at 75%. What are the chances that MSNBC with its progressive viewpoint will be able to increase its audience? How does slim and none strike you? Let’s be honest here the anti-Bush tidal wave that propelled MSNBC ratings will eventually turn into a ripple. MSNBC plateaued in November 2008 and the 2009 numbers we will be looking at next year will show a negative trend for MSNBC.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/120857/conservatives-single-largest-ideological-group.aspx

These ratings DO include DVR/Tivo. Like I have pointed out several times, even if there was 2 or 3 “conservative” networks, “conservative” tv would still have more people waching.

and the whole lib/dems have better things to do is simply childish and silly. No proof one way or the other to substantiate any kind of argument like that, and common sense simply says that its an ignorant argument.

Plus the numbers and math say that FNC has MORE Dems/Indys than other networks TOTAL VIEWERS, often beating them COMBINED in Dems/Indys.

Hey, but if you want to discuss the issues more expansively than TV ratings users here are joing this forum created by user Mike B:
http://www.voyagertrans.com/forum1/index.php

Exactly what are you liberals/progressives doing? Standing in line, waiting for the “redistribution of wealth” you were promised?

Another victory for Glenn and FNC!

FNC gets MORE DEMS/INDYS Than other networks get total viewers!

FNC is the only conservative network? True! Then again, it does be all other networks combined and then some. Not to mention that if you run the math, its likely that more dems/libs/independents also watch FNC than watch CNN or MSNBC. Furthermore even if there were 2 or 3 conservative news channels, conservative cable news networks would still rule. How would CNN and MSNBC feel if they were actually ranked 5th or 6th?

So what they get more hits on the internet?

What about radio? Look up the radio numbers. Books? Not even close either!

So before youg get too excited about the internet, maybe you need to look at the whole picture. Or keep looking at the small picture and enjoy your “victory”. You guys try so hard, you deserve alittle something to feel good about. Certainly can’t feel good about your elected officials.

Anyways you guys, we aren’t supposed to get to political here so join us on our new forum: http://www.voyagertrans.com/forum1/index.php

http://www.marketingcharts.com/television/top-10-broadcast-media-websites-september-2009-10677/

I’m sure these ratings will change as soon as the red states get broadband access though.. =D

this one is for the cable tv channel website rankings

http://www.marketingcharts.com/television/top-10-tv-websites-september-2009-10729/

they also have one for political websites that has FOX ahead of cnn though… although huffington post has nearly double the visitors of FOX for political websites for september.. considering other data shows cnn gets more hits.. i’d say this list is rather messed up because it isn’t counting people who go to cnn.com – only ones that go to cnn/politics.com.. or whatever the site is – which is basicly just a sub site of cnn that you get to by clicking a political story.. so it won’t register traffic correctly.. but either way – huffington post is beating your beloved FOX.. so enough with your foaming at the mouth about your fake news network..

FOX blows…

maybe you want something more current? like as of April 2009?

http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/online_mobile/msnbc-and-cnn-top-global-news-sites-in-march/

the reason FOX is doing so well is 1) It’s the only source for all your GOP conspiracy ‘news’.. and 2) It seems that Republicans haven’t learned how to use the internets…

myself.. I watch CSPAN if I’m watching TV.. or PBS.. But I spend far more time on the internet reading the news and watching videos.. the internet is far more convenient for news.. you see what you want when you want – not simply whats on.. of course for all the wingnuts I imagine you TIVO glenn beck.. can’t possibly miss him cryin his eyes out. I appreciate a good comedy like anyone – but when you call something a NEWS show you need to actually have NEWS.. not simply a 24 hour opinion piece.

But honestly.. numbers are irrelevant – if you look at the highest rated broadcast TV show it’s football. It shows the intellect of the average american.. they watch the NFL and Glenn Beck.. in between polishing their gun collection…. very sad. If you ever want to know what bad music is.. look to the ones selling the most albums. If you ever want to know what bad TV is.. look to the most popular shows.. you can be sure they are examples of what the lowest common denominator in the country thinks ‘is a real hoot’.

So go grab a budweiser.. and watch your favorite bigot on your one remaining ‘news’ channel – keep on hiding from the truth…it’s your right as a militant frightened ignorant american racist.

STOP THE G*D DAMN PRESSES!!! STOP THEM NOW! HOLY SH*T! CNN and MSNBC “blew away” Fox news online… (wait for it…) 5 FRICKING YEARS AGO! WOW! WE’RE ALL IMPRESSED!

As I seem to be “educating” the mindless masses this past day, I’d like to point out to you sir/madam the following…

1) You failed to read the date on the journalism.org site to see that it was written in 2004!!!!!!!!!!!
2) You failed to read the date on the businessweek.com site that it was written in 2006!!!!!!!!!!
3) You succeeded in humiliating yourself like so many that have come before you! Congratulations!

Now go away. Go “impress” someone else in whatever whole you crawled out of. People like you and the others that have come on here and made fools of themselves do the liberals and “left wingers” justice!

Keep up the good work! LOL!

You will probably be surprised to find out that TV ratings are judge by viewership on TV. But thanks for the “the scoop” anyway!

Thank you dear!

We just have to keep telling all these people that have lost their way…

“Just follow the light…
…Walk into the light…
…Don’t be afraid….

And drop on by the new forum; http:www.voyagertrans.com/forum1/
We could have more FUN there than the folks that own this site would allow us to have here.

Actually, MSNBC and CNN *are* blowing FOX away – online. When you factor in online hits along with ratings, FOX and FOX News don’t even come close to the other two. It barely even registers.

http://www.journalism.org/node/780

http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/06_07/b3971033.htm

Oh, and expect to see another ratings boost for FOX, particularly Glenn Beck – courtesy of Annita Dunn and Obama’s war on FOX. Did anyone see the red phone on Glenn Beck. Absolutely genious. My prediction – this will work as well as the Glenn Beck “boycott”. lol.

“When you have only one garbage dump in town all the garbage in town goes to that one dump. There is only one place on Cable to find the garbage, and its MSNBC. It’s not real news because the facts are most often missing, twisted, slanted or just plain lied about. For the people who love to hate and want to hear only what they want to hear, MSNBC is the only place in town. The other real news channels on cable split their audience between all of them, with Fox holding the majority lead overall. Also, entertainment,comedy and horror films have always been more popular and fun to watch than a bogus news program for example say, Keith Olbermann.
Try to get viewers to watch Matthews, Olbermann or Maddow if any of them try to consistently give two sides to a story without throwing in any “scarey” stuff about republicans/conservatives, racism, freedom to own firearms, nazis, Palin and Beck, right wing brainwashing and hollocaust propoganda, and watch their ratings consistently drop. If any one good or positive thing is said about our citizens or the country in which they live, it would be a miracle! Shepard Smith is the only true ethical news reporter on Fox and you notice his ratings are doing quite well considering he’s on twice a day. When you watch MSNBC it doesn’t take much to “reel” you in to the land of “who will you hate today”.

There… now isn’t that better? Leans way farther towards the truth than what you originally wrote. No need to thank me… I’m only here to help those in need!

And for our resident “Red Eye” fan up there, I seriously doubt that it will EVER end up anywhere near primetime. It was never intended to be taken seriously as a news (or commentary) program, more towards a parody of the days news… “the lighter side of the news” if you will. A chance for us to laugh it all off after a very long day.

I watch it too if I’m up and most times have a good laugh, other times I just think it’s way too silly to watch.

I love when the “liberal leftenista’s” come in here (and elsewhere for that matter) and try to “stretch” (or is that strain?) their brain cells and attempt to convince us that they are smarter than us “right wing hillbilly racist’s”. Just like “Lefty-Lucy” from elsewhere in here (probably Sharon’s alter ego).

They’re still in a Kool-Aid induced drunken stuper as far as I can tell with some of the ridiculous comments they post here. As I see it based on the evidence presented on several occasions here on this site, they live under a BIG rock in a very dark and deep cave somewhere and have no clue (or care) as to what’s going on around them. And as for their intelligence level, based on the evidence presented before us, I could probably measure it in a microscope.

Don’t forget to drop in to the “real basement” where you can REALLY open up and say hi and speak your mind! http://www.voyagertrans.com/forum1/
