And I will transfer that love to my media crush.

4. Permanent Vacation I Suspect

As you know, TV shows rely on ratings in order to attract advertisers. When ratings get bad enough, advertisers move on to greener pastures. In spite of the "cult" following, Keith isn't attracting the critical mass to self-support. I hate to say it, but I suspect he'll not be returning.

5. yes yes, permanent vacation

6. Oh Please

The man is on vacation. His ratings have gone up and he's not going anywhere for a while.

[Botany]

7. Troll Boy!

Keith's ratings are very strong. And he appeals to a strong demographic (educated, 25 to 60 professionals, and with money) He will be back.

[Greylyn58]

8. I don't think

you've been paying attention. Keith's ratings have gone up over the last several months. So I think all is well. He'll be back.

:eyes:

10. Ummmmmmmmm

I Don't Think So :)

15. A cable MSNBC channel that calls 300000 good - and KO is not "good"?

KO may well be pulled -

But Can we go over what each of the shows pull as ratings on MSNBC?

And maybe review/work out the logic and why of who stays and who goes?

We recall that the highest rated show - Phil - was pulled of the schedule - hmmmmmm.....

Can we say GE is a GOP force and has been one since the late 40's when they began their push with Reagan?

Can we recall 4 yrs ago and the theft of election - and Katie blurting out to Matt that she thought they were not to discuss how Gore had actually won per the media recount (she had mis-heard Matt -he had not blown the "secret" - there was silence - and the show moved on)

Can we recall GE/Welsh telling NBC to call the election for Bush at 10 pm - and the tapes of that moment - tapes that GE refused to give to the House committee folks that asked for them (even telling GE in which closet to find those tapes after GE had lied and said there were no tapes)?

Can we recall Welch and Tim and the 2 am walk in the park after which Tim came back on air saying how it was time for Gore to take one for the country and conceed to Bush?

Ya - KO will be pulled because of ratings - yep ....

and I have a bridge to sell you....
