This is the note that went out from Nancy's show today

[SharonRB]

Dear Listeners and Friends:

Whether you've written me, called into the show or just listened these past few months, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your lives. So many of you have shared your thoughts with me and made me feel like I touched you in some way -- whether you agreed or disagreed with me, we were able to have a dialogue.

Today will be my last show for a while. We have decided to go on hiatus to regroup and spend some time building the Nancy Skinner brand through multiple media -- my TV appearances, my blog and the book I'm going to be writing. But, I will be back on the air causing more trouble by the fall, and will keep you up-to-date during the time I'm gone -- I will not disappear.

Remember to sign up at http://www.nancyskinnerlive.com if you haven't done so yet, and check back there and at my blog often. You can also keep up with me on Facebook and by following me on Twitter -- there are links at the website and the blog. Archives of all of my shows will continue to be available at http://www.whiterosesociety.com/ (and, to thank Ben Burch for all he does, please consider donating at the White Rose site so he can continue his wonderful work).

Clips of my appearances on CNBC this week are posted on my blog, and I have a new blog post up as well. Also, I will be making the following TV appearances tonight:

The O'Reilly Factor tonight on Fox News at 8:00 p.m. ET (pre-taped)
CNBC Reports tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET - (two segments - live)

Keep in touch and take care. I'll definitely be in touch with all of you.

Nancy

3. It's nice of her to do that.

It's probably a good idea for her to take some time out and "build the brand," so to speak. Right now she still doesn't have a big name outside Michigan, and doing more national TV will help, as will a book. I think the disadvantage she had was that while she was lucky enough to be around when the whole Randi flap happened, she hadn't yet built up an image and reputation that could carry a national show the same way other media figures do (for good or bad--I mean, some of them develop an image and build a following very quickly just by being outrageous asshats, which is very easy--it's a lot harder to do it as a thoughtful person with a message).

I think it comes down to what Keith said: you can't be just another voice, you have to bring something to the table that is identified as being uniquely yours. Some people will hate it, but others will love it. Nancy's still working on that. I wish her much success, because the seed is there--it just needs to blossom.
