I used to tell my programmers that if I ever tune in and personally like what you are programming, you are just one notch away from being fired.

You should see how much time the "professionals" spend on the various news industry web sites, lavishing embarrassing amounts of praise on Keith Olbermann's show. They absolutely worship it, yet it's the lowest-rated prime time show on all three news channels. And your numbers have to really SUCK to earn bottom place.

CNN was threatened to be dropped off the channel lineup of DISH Network. I was watching the CEO of Echostar, Charlie Ergen, explain that CNN has dismal ratings, no one watches them, and they bear the burden of paying for a channel no one watches. It may have been an idea tossed out there, but I know Charlie Ergen really cares about all of us DISH Network customers by giving them the kind of channels they want at a fair price.
