  1. Steve

    CNN did very poorly

  2. NYNancy

    I predict that Squawk Box will surpass Sloppy Joe from 6am-9am in the immediate future.

    Joe 270K, SB 182K. Amazing. Meanwhile F&F beats all the cable news competition combined. Go FNC!!

    Thrill up my leg Matthews, Keefie and Madcow are also dragging a$$ big time!!!!

  3. jfan

    this is cool countdown’s political guests for January 2010

    Democratic politicians/Strategists-19
    Liberal/Progressive-34

    Conservative/Republican Politicians and Strategists-0

  4. Nightstar

    O’Reilly up by half a million… not surprised, given Jon Stewart was the guest.

  5. Bob

    Olbermann can’t have conservatives on his show, he’d lose it and try to kill them.

  6. Joan

    oberman is disgusting! But, look how long Air America lasted on soros money!
    Even though I never watch him it will be nice to know when he’s gone!

  7. Kevin

    Anyone know the numbers on Dylan Ratigan’s MSNBC show and how it is faring against the competition?

  8. TravisYanan

    @Joan

    Just curious… how do you know he’s disgusting if you never watch him?

    Not that I do… but I do find the web forum vitriolic posts against MSNBC and FNC opinion show hosts interesting. And how no one seems to have an extreme opinion about CNN’s hosts because they don’t openly subscribe to either end of the spectrum… probably why they’ve sunk into 3rd place…?

  9. Big Keith had 990,00 total viewers, that is practically a million. Awesome. It appears that other cities are figuring out what Atlanta has always known, Big Keith Rocks!

  10. Joan

    O’Reilly no longer announces “Hannity is coming up” or any lead in like a particular guest Hannity is having on. He runs Hannity down ever chance he get’s!
    He gets away with way too much! Hannity is twice the man O’Reilly is but I still watch “everything” FOX! It’s the only one you can trust!

  11. betty

    OlberMan is being MOCKED and Laughed at everywhere.
    Today, “Page Six” called him a sinking ship.
    Pssst…..OlberMan, HATE Does NOT SELL !

  12. mkurbo

    If you are MSNBC brass and the choice is between:

    1) Ideology, or
    2) Network Survival

    ..and you choose ideology (which is obvious by their programming) which results in the network losing its ratings and becoming irrelevant and therefore can no longer present its ideology – have you made the right choice ?

  13. Steve In Danville, KY

    Fox is back to the steady, and the rest is still playing catchup, problem is you can’t catch up when falling futhur behind.

    Good showing Fox.

    PS: As for O’Reiily not mentioning Hannity, he never did because his show is reran during the night with others beside Hannity being shown after the Factor rerun. And to the guy who says Kieth is back close to a million HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Fox and Friends in the morning gets more viewers than that blowhard jerk. What an idiot Doberman is.

  14. Steve In Danville, KY

    PS: Notice that O’Reiily’s reruns still gets more viewers than Doberman?

    September Comcast takes over and bye bye Keith

  15. Keith and his boss Phil Griffin must have something big on the CEO .

    One spews hate and the other thinks he is doing great and is still funny.

  16. Kevin

    Hannity is the Republican version of Olbermann. They both are extreme and they both should be turned off.

  17. Demonjoe

    Kevin, the main difference between Olbermann and Hannity is that Hannity will bring someone on that dissagrees with him?

  18. markd

    first time i’ve seen oreilly over 4 mil and keethy under a mil in the same night,,,,yeah,,, the end of that bag is near

  19. JC

    Kevin, maybe in terms of ideology, but in terms of ethics? No. Hannity doesn’t call people racist or sexual names. Hannity has democrats come on his show. And not just amateurs either. He brings people who are fully capable of defending their positions.

  20. Joan

    Steve in Danville ^5
