NBC's Nightly News ratings dip by double-digits in first broadcast since Brian Williams' name was removed from title
Brian Williams may be off the air, but it seems NBC's problems are far from over.
Ratings for the network's Nightly News broadcast dipped by double-digits on Wednesday during its first broadcast that had suspended anchor Brian Williams' name stripped from the title.
Nielsen's 'fast affiliate numbers' revealed that the nightly telecast's 9.8million viewers from Monday night had slipped to 8.6million by Thursday in what turned out to be its lowest numbers of the week.
Williams received a six-month unpaid suspension this week after it was revealed the anchor falsely claimed he was inside a helicopter that came under fire during a mission in Iraq.

LOL. You’re right!
This was pretty good last nite....for the SNL 40 Yr Anniv:

I wonder if they will discuss it on Fox News this morning...
Not as good as the original
Yeah — but it was nice to see the old cast back together....the ones not dead from drug overdoses...pretty funny skits back then...I don’t know about now..haven’t watched it over the pass 6 yrs...
I believe they made up those numbers. LOL What lying sacks.
Lester Holt of Dateline NBC fame? I saw him last night on some murder show.
The question is, which liar at NBC News will replace Brian Williams as the chief liar on the network news? How credible a liar will he or she be? Can they match the standard set by Brian Williams? Inquiring minds want to now.
All three networks should merge and rebrand as FBA
Fake But Accurate
Brian got the Zot!
They need to hire Baghdad Bob!
So the fact that their ‘News’ is nothing more than leftist propaganda had no effect on viewership. It was the talking heads faux pas about his involvement in a wartime escapade as a correspondent that sealed the deal. The people of this country are getting sadder and sadder.
Wouldn’t that make their ratings a negative number?
How many of them died from drug overdoses?
Hint: Gilda Radner died from cancer.
And Jane is STILL, an ignorant slut.
It sounds as if NBC News and MSNBC are in a race to reach the fewest number of viewers. I haven’t watched either in years, but after you’ve lost credibility, folks, it is all downhill. Bye, bye.
It was actually a lame piece.
I let my wife switch over to “Sister Wives” shortly after that.
It’s difficult to do subversive humor when what was subversive is now the mainstream.
Lol...they are still full of butthurt from a bad case of “Fox News Envy”...
