MSNBC will soon be loaded with Winter Olympic coverage displacing their regular programming. Seems like a great time to dump Olbermann before his head explodes.
Everyone was off by about 100,000 to 2000,00 in prime time weird
Whoa CNBC had a banner night
Anonymous: Pot + Porn = CNBC ratings magic
Nancy Grace ratings are dropping like turd. She’s stay on the same subject just too long.
Should be interesting to see what Jon Stewart’s impact on O’Reilly will be with tomorrow’s ratings
how many times has “MSNBC” palyed that “PORN SAGA”.

Couldn’t have been that, my basement is not that big, I would have known if they were there
Keith is so bright and insightful but he’s gone off the deep end into a sea of spite and partisan bias. I still watch him a little but only during the O’Reilly commercial spots. I think the last straw for me was the famous Scott Brown outburst on election night. I thought I’d see guys come in with a straight jacket. He’s now hurting Obama and the DEMs with his 50 word sentences of hate. Stewart was on O’Reilly tonight and it was great TV. Keith can’t touch O’Reilly and he’s dragging down NBC news. Put a bullet in him and call it a day.
CNN and HLN are utterly terrible in prime time ..both newtworks has not 1 host between them that can garner over 1 million viewers on a nightly basis .str8 down the middle news is a thing of the 20th century
Big Keith with almost a million total viewers, Awesome! People here in Philadelphia understand how wonderful he is!!!
Get rid of Olberdouche already. Take Priss Mathews and that guy Rachel with him. Does MSNBC have so much money that they don’t need anyone to watch their programs?
Switched over during Bill O show to see Overbite, and behold, there is Mad Cow. What’s going on??? Maybe PMSNBC is going to move Overbite to compete with Her All Dough on the weekends.
I’m a regular (factor) viewer.And like the program.But he seems to be slaming Beck & Hannity at times ,Are there ratings getting to close to his ? Makes me wonder .
@ruscc i feel the same way except Oreilly likes beck i am not sure about hannity though
I flip to CNN and MSNBC during commercials on Fox and all three programs Chris, Oberman and Rachel are really sickning. Rachel was terrible on the Air American Radio show and to hear her and them be so evil it is sad. GE doesn’t care about losing money or viewers with them because they are keeping their commitment to support the President.
wes,
if that’s true, then when GE sells the NBCU stable what’s going to happen to the MSNBC bunch? Not a fan (of any cable news shows, don’t watch them much) so just curious about speculation here.
Bill O has been mean to Beck, what a sour grape. I am kind of tired Bill’s spin. beck is the real “Bold and Fresh”.
Glenn Beck will pass Bill O, Bill gives too much spin while Beck is “Bold and Fresh”.
Yea Steve and Rush Limbaugh gets 25 million listeners everday which is more than ABC, NBC, AND CBS combined so if you want to compare apples and oranges like network to cable take a big bite out of that!
Also if you add in the replays of O’reilly he reguarly beats Couric at CBS.
you also seem to have forgotten to include Drudge report in your News sites.
VISITS TO DRUDGE 2/04/10
026,772,713 IN PAST 24 HOURS
762,264,618 IN PAST 31 DAYS
7,924,366,954 IN PAST YEAR
Seems to me 26 million viewers would rank Drudge third by your numbers. Isn’t it handy to just cherry pick numbers that are convinient to your cause. Are you a member of the Obozo administration if not with your mathmatics you should be.
