MSNBC - Hah - Rita Crosby lost 38% of her audience Tuesday
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/

In between the "Rita Gets It" promos, MSNBC is calling Live & Direct the "big new cable hit." But on her second MSNBC night, Rita Cosby lost 38% of her premiere audience -- and more than half of her younger viewers.

Rita recorded 665,000 total viewers on Monday, but it dropped to 414,000 on Tuesday. She had 245,000 viewers in the 25-54 demo on Monday, but it declined to 126,000 on Tuesday, a drop of 49 percent. Her 18-49 viewership dropped by 52% and her 18-34 #'s dropped by 71%.

She was still the #1 show on MSNBC's primetime, and has helped boost the network's primetime average. But look at her competition; It's obvious she has a long way to go...

> Update: 5:40pm: "Scarborough (201k) and Abrams (130k) had a bigger 25-54 audience than Cosby (126k) Tuesday night," a tipster notes.

BTW KO Countdown had 315,000 audience.

2. Not having cable, I've never heard of her
And I doubt I will ever see her anyway. Seems like I'm missing nothing.

3. She's awful.
Really - I could care less what she looks like; her voice is nasty and her manner is way OTT. Why they gave her a show is beyond me.

4. Isn't she from Fox?
If I wanted to watch Fox, I'd watch the real thing! What are they thinking? More tabloid news for MSNBC?

If Keith goes, it's time to totally turn off MSNBC. He's the only show I bother with anymore on that network.

It's way past time for a nationwide boycott of Cable News, where millions of people simply cancel their cable subscriptions en masse. I rarely have it on anymore anyway and I could spend the $52 on movies, listen to AAR and check out news on the computer. All of which I'm doing anyway!

6. she is just awful
Edited on Wed Aug-10-05 07:36 PM by leftchick
I can't even imagine whoever even hired her. Did they not HEAR her? You can't listen to that breathless chopping chant of hers. Perhaps they only looked at her photo? She IS THE WORST YET!

11. She has what the recording industry would call
a voice that 'won't record'. Doesn't project well.

8. A parody, if you will.
Edited on Wed Aug-10-05 07:17 PM by HawkeyeX
Man 1: Hey, Keith's on! Let's watch him
Man 2: Ok!

1 hour passes....

Man 1: That was a damn good show.
Man 2: Yeah...

(Few minutes later)

Man 1: Zzzz......
Man 2: Zzzzz...... ehh What..? oh well, time for bed.

*click*

That's pretty much sums up Rita's stupid show.

9. Apparently the veneer on newsmodels fades fast these days.
*LOL*

As I was typing that her teaser came on during Keith. She's a living parody! That must be exhausting.

I saw her once on Fox screaming about something pro-War, pro-Bush, or some shit like that. I have zero use for her.

15. She asks STUPID questions: "You got dogs on the hunt?"
Dogs to chase down a couple who have stolen cars to get outta dodge?? The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation guy just looked at her.

She's a real genius.

18. i'll never understand these channels' taking of other channels' anchors
i mean damn, it's not like there's a shortage of fresh shills out there. does some committee get together and say, "Hey, we NEED Rita Cosby's market-share and we need it now!!"

Why not a fresh face? With new thoughts and questions and ide. . . ok I'm getting waay ahead of myself here sorry. I drifted into a world where these people are journalists, my bad!

20. TV Newser is an important service.
Other blogs seem to only have those #s when TV Newswer supplies them.
