O’Reiily back over 4 million, very impressive, even Doberman is over 1 Million, but notice O’Reiily still outdoes him in the rerun segment, embarrassing isn’t it DoberDude?
Fox has a very impressive lineup now, and has to make room somehow for Megan Kelly, look for Beck to do some primetime specials soon.
FOX is a ratings machine, there really isn’t any competition out there, even Red Eye at 3:00 in the morning out does the competitions ratings in primetime. Why MSPMS keeps the dork and the woman who wants to be a guy on there is a mystery.
Fox News made room for Megyn Kelly: she is hosting ‘America Live’, 1-3pm EST.
Ya I wish I could see how Megyn Kelly is doing with America Live.
boringolbermann is getting fired this week. you’ll see. his ratings are down 80%
O-reilly at 8:00 (25-54) = 1,154,000
MSNBC from 6 through 11 pm (25-54) = 1,187,000

How about them MSNBC racist apples…hobo
Overbite, Tingley Leg, and Butch Mad Cow (with a grand total of one suit for her/his show). Let’s get together, and STOP SWITCHING CHANNELS DURING COMMERCIALS, FROM FOX, for laughs, and take them all back down to Anderson Coopers 360 total viewers. I’m sure that nobody can watch them on a steady basis for over 2 minutes. A good statistic would be to measure how many people actually LOOKS AT THEIR SHOWS FROM START TO FINISH. Only people with very strong stomachs.
The nbc-ers are anti American fascists. I don’t know why it’s legal for them to be on the air. Serious;y those are the types that should be in gitmo.
She an ugly angry lesbian. She’s stupid. And the men are all treasonous IMHO. I hear from a little birdie that they might hire Rosie DIKE o’donnell soon to replace Keith Stupidman. I can’t figure out which a-hole is worse.
“You mean people aren’t interested in hand-gate” – MSNBC management
Beck was hilarious today!
I DVR it all and watch later tonight with popcorn. Don’t spoil anything. Beck should run for office. He would totally win.
WHEN ARE THE STOCK HOLDERS GOING TO SPEAK OUT AB. NBC POOR RATEINGS?
Just switched to Matthews to see what he was up to. He was bashing Sara Palin. I wonder if he has any idea how small he looks in doing it. Things he said made no sense.
Matthews just want to have sex with her. He hates women except for sex. Libs pretend they are open minded but they are not. Palin 2012 will beat the dark loser. I guarantee it. Wish Assbermann would still be on the air then just so i could see his pathetic face.
Hah????? TO anyone posting kieth Oblerman is getting canned (that means you tammy) last night was his best in weeks and he has the only non fox news show to get over 1 million viewers. You have the unalienable right to hate him and pervert his name (oberdork) (Overbite) (etc.) but hes not getting canceled
GET OVER IT!!!!!

In its first week, ‘America Live’ did just a tad better than the program it replaced, ‘The Live Desk’. Worth noting: it didn’t outperform ‘America’s Newsroom’, the program that Megyn used to co-host with Bill Hemmer earlier in the day.
I’ve heard that the reason fixed news get better ratings. Is because they have it on in public places. bars, hotels stuff like that. And also it comes in the basic cable package. Whereas MSNBC you have to upgrade to get it.
igotid88:
Wherever I go, it’s CNN. CNN, Fox, and MSNBC are all premium stations in our viewing area. I wish they were basic cable!
igotid88, that’s MSNBC’s excuse for poor ratings? Let’s pretend that is a reasonable excuse for MSNBC, so what’s what’s CNN, HLN, and CNBC’s excuse for horrible ratings?

1. Viewers in public places are not counted by Nielson
2. CNN/HLN: 100.22 million HHs
CNBC: 97.59 million HHs
FNC: 98.04 million HHs
MSNBC: 93.0 million HHs
Fox News has a small edge in number of households available over MSNBC and CNBC (but not CNN), but not anywhere near enough to account for the ratings difference.
