I saw an ad for Tucker Carlson show on MSNBC

[zoeb]

They really think that guy will up their ratings? Someone needs to send them Faux ratings. Maybe then they will get a clue.

3. Who the hell is going to watch that?

Republicans don't even like him, do they?

4. I saw the ad too. Even the ad doesn't make it look interesting.

I don't know of ANY Tucker fans, even any RW! I figure he won't last long there either!

5. Keith Olbermann has their highest-rated show.

That should prove to them that people want an alternative to all the Reich-wingers out there.
Keith, imho, isn't a left-winger - he's just fair, which IS an alternative to everything else out there.
I'm guessing bow-tie boy isn't going to cause a big splash. I know I'll be turning off the TV at 9 p.m. after Olbermann goes off.

7. KO Doesn't Have The Highest Ratings, But It Doesn't Matter

Hardball and, yes, Scarborough have better ratings (not much) than Countdown, but not by much. Keith's numbers have remained either steady or "flat" (depends on how you want to spin it) for months...but this isn't bad considering the drop in ratings of Faux & CNNservative. The good is O'Reilly has lost over 50% since the Election, the problem is Olbermann didn't gain.

MSGOP has 1/4th the ratings of its competitors...while Faux will draw 1 millions viewers (down from 2 million a year ago), MSGOP hovers around the 200,000 mark. The corporates cheer things are looking up for them since everyone is doing so much worse.

As someone else noted...no one cares about Bow Tie Bow. Most conservatives, especially wingnuts, never liked him and his PBS show (any watch that tripe???) has been a loser as well. But, this is their money, let throw it around.

At least with a Carlson, he is easily overmatched by anyone with a brain. Maybe watching this loser get his head handed to him on a regular basis could be good therapy.

11. Not lately.

Keith has been beating both of them as of late.

I don't know how old the info you looked at was, but I just checked last week. Keith was up by 30,000 over Tweety and by 10,000 (give or take) over Scarborough. Got the nightly ratings from TV Newswer.

And, of course MSNBC has lower ratings than all the others - they aren't in as many markets. We tend to forget that when looking at their ratings.

Of course, it is good news that Faux is dropping.

6. Did they say which time slot he was going into?

I heard his show was going to be at 8:00PM EST (Keith's time slot).

[CC]

9. Keith is keeping

his slot. Bow-tie-boy will be on at 9 pm. I'm keeping the remote close so I can change channels fast.

[high density]

8. When the right-winger has the option of Hannity or Carlson at 9pm

Why in the hell is he going to choose to watch Tucker?

[zoeb]

10. lol Insanity has the 9pm slot locked

I give him...6 months at best!
