What happens in the next couple months when debates dwindle off and people become less interested in the primary? Outfront is not doing well yet she posted a couple of big days because she was lead-in to the debate. That helps her average and it still isn&#39;t great. I&#39;ve been checking the ratings on Starting Point and they are just awful. I mean *really* bad. I&#39;ve watched the show and I was open minded but it is just pundit talk and really uninteresting. CNN needs to just do something totally different.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-49070406954736882482012-01-30T10:57:27.521-05:002012-01-30T10:57:27.521-05:00With shows like Starting Point, Out Front and<br />some other very serious problems, things are<br />not changing for CNN. Anderson Cooper has<br />some loyal viewers, but can that save CNN ?<br />This means that 360 will stay on at 8 &amp; 10.<br /><br />CNN has to do something about TSR, John King,<br />Out Front and even PMT. Is this the best that <br />CNN could find to succeed Larry King ? What<br />does CNN management see in Piers Morgan.<br />Then again this the same crew that thought<br />Erin Burnett would be a good idea. CNN can&#39;t<br />perform personality transplants for Morgan<br />or Burnett and that is the big problem. If you<br />want viewers to stick with you for an hour, <br />you have to have a host that viewers like.<br />Both Erin Burnett &amp; Piers Morgan are very<br />bad at TV. They are so weak.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-41303944495532990182012-01-29T19:16:59.067-05:002012-01-29T19:16:59.067-05:00As goes 360, so goes CNN. That is why I don&#39;t<br />understand why CNN is ruining 360 by having<br />pundits open the show. It is not working with<br />John King or Soledad. Yet CNN keeps trying to<br />make the pundits work. They need to leave 360<br />alone and let them do their thing . I won&#39;t be <br />watching CNN for most of this week because it<br />will be politics all of the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-16148653003236950902012-01-29T15:30:34.779-05:002012-01-29T15:30:34.779-05:00We are sorry. Sharpton is averaging <br />798,000/178,000<br /> <br /> We also failed to post the ratings for <br />the 7 PM hour.<br /><br />Out Front is averaging 473,000/148,000<br /><br />Hardball is averaging 825,000/199,000<br /><br />Fox Rpt is averaging 1,846,000/355,000<br /><br />We thought we would give everyone some<br />bonus info. Demos is how all make $$$$.<br />We thought we would give you all the %<br />of the demos for the shows.<br /><br />Before we have mentioned 360 had a higher<br />% of the 25-54 demo than other shows. That<br />is the moneymaker.<br /><br />At 10, 360 has a 37 % demo average<br /><br />TLW has 22 %<br /><br />OTR has 24 %<br /><br />Even at 8, 360 has the highest % of demo<br />viewers compared to the competition.<br /><br />360 has a demo average of 32 %<br /><br />ED has 20 %<br /><br />BOR has 21 %<br /><br />That is why 360 makes a ton of money <br />for CNN. In fact it seems like there are<br />more commercials on 360. Advertisers<br />likely want their ads on 360.<br /><br /><br />Stay TunedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-85146204180049038592012-01-28T18:59:10.651-05:002012-01-28T18:59:10.651-05:00The Sequel.<br /><br />TSR is averaging 584,000/132,000<br /><br />Hardball is averaging 808.000/147,000<br /><br />The 5 is averaging 1,725,000/365,000<br /><br />it seems like TSR would be doing a whole lot<br />better considering that is is an election year.<br />These number shave to raise some red flags.<br /><br />JK,USA is averaging 477,000/138,000<br /><br />Sharpton is averaging 178,000/173,000<br /><br />SPCL RPT is averaging 1,980,000/414,000<br /><br />This is very disappointing. WHy is JK doing so<br />badly up against Rev Al ? That&#39;s gotta hurt.<br /><br />Out Front is no having much luck either and<br />Erin Burnett likely gets some bump from 360.<br />That has us wonder just how low her ratings<br />are for the first 45 minutes.<br /><br />PMT is averaging 601,000/180,000<br /><br />TRMS is averaging 1,019,000/260,000<br /><br />Hannity 2,008,000/475,000<br /><br />CNN is going with the bookends of 360<br />hoping to lift PMT. It is getting a bump<br />from the 360 repeat. and if 360 continues<br />to grow at 8 it might work. We are skeptical<br />We don&#39;t think 360 and PMT draw the same<br />type of viewers TRMS likely draws a similar<br />audience to 360. We will be watching to see<br />if Rachel is getting closer in the demo to<br />Sean Hannity like AC is with Greta. It seems<br />like those loyal BOR viewers might be tuning<br />out earlier and not staying with Hannity and<br />Greta. The year is young and this is just Jan<br />2012 . There is still a long way to go.<br /><br />These numbers are subject to change with<br />more data to come but they likely will not<br />be much of a difference unless someone <br />has a blockbuster Friday night. The numbers<br />are just for Mon-Fri. You get your 5 &amp; 7 day<br />ratings and each network will spin with the<br />numbers in a favorable light to them.<br /><br />Stay tuned. Next month we start keeping an<br />eye on Starting Point. Right now it is not looking<br />to good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-11226260690719894452012-01-28T18:37:43.028-05:002012-01-28T18:37:43.028-05:00Hi we are back. We decided to run some numbers<br />for January 2012 that might paint a picture as to<br />how CNN and their competitors fared this month.<br />TV NEWSER is the data source.<br /><br />360 at 10 PM will be the top rated show on CNN.<br /><br />360 (10) is averaging 855,000/316, 000<br /><br />TLW is averaging 860,000/187,000<br /><br />OTR is averaging 1,693,000/410,00<br /><br />The Friday ratings are excluded. It is safe to say<br />that 360 will be 2nd in the demo for the hour.<br />The totals are still in play. There is also this<br />question : will OTR get less than 400,000 in<br />demo ? <br /><br />At 8 PM there is only a 20,000 difference in the<br />demo between Anderson and ED.<br /><br />360 is averaging 616,000/194,000<br /><br />ED is averaging 1,064,000/214,000<br /><br />BOR is averaging 3,097,000/654,000<br /><br />Question : Will 360 finish above 600,000 and<br />can Anderson pull off big number for Friday ?<br /><br />360 at 8PM could be the #2 show on CNN<br /><br />Prime time is in play as well. This is a surprise.<br />We say CNN will top MSNBC in the prime time<br />demo. MSNBC will win a squeaker with totals.<br /><br />CNN is averaging 1,131,000/330,000<br /><br />MSNBC is averaging 1,012,000/234,000<br /><br />FNC is averaging 2,386,000/564,000<br /><br />We are not sure bu we think FNC might be<br />down because of OTR. MSNBC might be down<br />a litter and CNN might have some growth.360<br />is creating some problems for MSNBC. The big<br />question : can CNN might the right decisions<br />that will permit the to beat MSNBC ?<br /><br /> This is part 1. The sequel followsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
