Fox is enjoying the fruits of audience betrayal, judging by the above ratings from January 13, 2021. Other than the odd video on You Tube I haven’t watched Fox since election day. My Bride and I had a subscription to Sling TV specifically to get FOX News, and we cancelled the day after the election. Maybe Trump can pick Fox News up cheap for Trump TV, keep some of the on air evening talent and fire all of the rest. Chris Wallace I am sure will be welcomed with open arms by CNN, at least until the Last Rites are performed over it after it is bull dozed by Trump TV.
Agree. Rupert Murdoch’s kids have destroyed Fox with Liberalism.
I stopped watch any television some months ago. Documentaries on Amazon Prime are my choice.
Listed ratings don’t show Newsmax or OAN. Newsmax and OAN can be seen via KlowdTV on a computer; Newsmax can be seen on Amazon Prime. Article said Newsmax was beating Fox by 30% at the 7 pm spot and that McCollum would be shifted to afternoon.
No clue why companies decide they don’t care for their customers and want to jettison them in favor of new customers they may or may not get. It would appear that Lachlan Murdoch is behind this. The other adult Murdoch children are no longer working in their father’s businesses, though at least one serves on boards.
Paul Ryan sits on Fox’s board. That man is jinxed.
6 January, I also stopped watching Newsmax and OAN.
The reason: I hate being lied to. It’s not that I’m more honest than anybody. It’s that a lie disgusts me. it’s like biting into something rotten. Like what they did all last year to help steal the White House, and a few weeks ago to help steal the Senate.
Art, I love you, man. PR isn’t only jinxed. He’s an establishment-GOP slug, as in garden-variety snail without a shell that leaves a slime trail everywhere he crawls. .
As someone at the Ace of Spades blog put it:
“Let’s keep alienating the only possible audience for our network!”
The fact it has spilled over to their once-invincible evening opinion line-up is the real canary in the coal mine.
Don, according to my friends who still work for AT&T, they are looking to unload CNN. Wouldn’t that be ironic, if Trump were to buy them? That would almost be worth the stolen election. 😂
Almost.
Trump’s career Frank is filled with him coming back from defeat many times. I would never count him out.
I suspect that AT&T wouldn’t sell it to him for any price. But if they wanted to, who would finance it? If they did sell it to him, who would carry it? It would be dropped from every airport and every cable and satellite system.
If they did sell it to him, who would carry it?
Only people who wanted to make a great deal of money. Trump will be a ratings bonanza.
Art Deco,
It’s not a jinx that Paul Ryan brought.
It’s the fact that Paul Ryan has advised Fox News to dump Trump the moment he came on the board of directors.
The moment he dropped his pro-life credentials, ie, allowing abortion in cases of rape & incense, when he became Romney’s VP, was the moment he identified as another creature of the Swamp.
They already have all of the money they want. In fact with the Governments’ full backing they will make even more. They don’t want competition. Banks which worked with Trump for 20 years has dumped him. The PGA has dumped him. Parler is a perfect example. Google and Apple both remove the App and then Amazon removes it from their servers and software. Amazon could have made a lot of money from Parler but it said no thanks and gave all of their support to another customer called Twitter who was eliminating anyone from their platform who disagreed. These companies don’t think they are harming themselves and perhaps with government help they are right.
Don, I’m sure you’ve been watching Viva’s videos. I think Parler has a good case (from a non lawyer’s perspective) but I don’t think it will matter. They May win some but in the end they (Parler) will go out of business and Tech Lords will win.
Companies that do not follow the market end up extinct. I have no doubt that Trump will be a raging success with Trump TV. He has a built in huge audience which would follow him if read the dictionary on line.
I hope you are right and he has that opportunity if he wishes to continue.
An update to my concerns above…..
