NBC’s newest talent Megyn Kelly’s first three shows have failed to beat reruns of 60 Minutes, and television executives are already reportedly wondering if NBC is going to cancel Kelly’s Sunday newsmagazine show after the football season.

She won’t last to football season. Maybe not pre-season. NBC has Sunday night football and you want her as a lead in?

You have a new show and you cannot beat a re-run? Says it all

Big Name Advertisers Conspicuously Absent from Megyn Kelly’s Sunday Night NBC show
AOL News ^ | June 20 2017 | Tanya Dua
Posted on 6/20/2017, 2:39:59 PM

Megyn Kelly aired her interview with right-wing provocateur and conspiracy-monger Alex Jones on Sunday night. And a number of big name advertisers were conspicuously absent from the ad roster of the anchor’s new newsmagazine show.

According to data crunched by TV ad analytics company iSpot.tv, the third episode of Kelly’s show “Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly” featuring Jones carried noticeably fewer national advertisers than the previous two episodes. While the first episode had 39 national advertisers and the second had 36, last night’s controversial episode had only 29.

Ads for several big-name advertisers, including McDonald’s, Bank of America and Kia, which took the stage and aired national ads during the first two episodes on June 4 and June 11, did not run during the June 18 episode. This follows JPMorgan Chase coming out strongly against the Jones interview last week, asking for its local TV and digital ads to be removed from NBC and anchor Megyn Kelly’s show until after this Sunday’s episode.

The numbers show that lesser ads were shown against fewer brands, and against the show’s programming last night than the first two episodes,” said Jason Damata, data analyst for iSpot.tv. “This episode was a bit of a third rail, so it is not surprising that fewer brands were willing to take a risk and put their ads there.”

AdChoices

Sunday’s episode also saw a flurry of public-service announcements, including those from the Ad Council and the United States Marine Corps. Three of the show’s commercial breaks led with PSAs, which as Variety reported, typically run as part of time donated by media companies in less desirable ad inventory. Further, NBC itself ran as many as 13 promos for its own programs, according to iSpot.tv, for programs including “Today” and “America’s Got Talent” among others.

With advertising in America becoming a minefield, brands are increasingly getting more wary of the context of where their messaging shows up, irrespective of the medium. Apart from NBC, Fox News lost advertisers after Sean Hannity promoted a conspiracy theory about murdered Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich on his show last month. But not everyone chooses to stay away (Henkel, Head & Shoulders and Allegra were a few major brands that ran ads on Sunday), and neither are these boycotts permanent.

“There is no evidence of any brand leaving advertising on NBC,” said Damata. “You can’t be a TV advertiser and abandon NBC, but you do get a say in where your content shows up.”

Love it! Liberal TV execs are blinded by their own false beliefs. Most of America can’t stand her for trying to take out Trump. She has looked confused since that first debate. I wanted to see Putin, and gave her a chance Sun PM, which lasted about 12 seconds. She’s bad news. (Pun intended.)

Maybe she can join the newly acquired Yahoo news group and work with Katey HiColonic..

I smell lots of awards awaiting them. No, wait, that’s my armpit.

Imagine if instead of making it her job to bring down Trump, she had treated him fairly, or, God forbid, supported him? She would still be at Fox, still getting good ratings, and might even have taken over Bill O’Reilly’s spot. Smooth move, MeAgain.
