Young viewers just don't watch The O'Reilly Factor like they used to. April marked Bill O'Reilly's lowest-rated month in the 25-54 demographic since August 2001.
His 415,000 demo viewers in March was a new low, but O'Reilly managed to lose a few more in April, averaging 412,000 in the demo. Here's his post-Katrina track:
Sept: 1,115 / Oct: 518 / Nov: 468 / Dec: 460 / Jan: 472 / Feb: 458 / Mar: 415
But this trend started long before the hurricane. for O'Reilly, April's numbers reflected his lowest demo rating in almost five years.
Among total viewers, O'Reilly delivered a respectable 2,102,000 million viewers for the month. But that, too, was low -- the lowest, in fact, since July of 2004 (when he had 2,042,000). Click continued to feast your eyes on O'Reilly's monthly averages since 2001...
> Update: 7:03pm: An e-mailer says: "O'Reilly has had over two million people watching his show consecutively for almost a year? That's astounding. My question for you is, who has beaten O'Reilly in that 25-54 demo? Unitl somebody does, his lower #'s probably reflect less news than last year. He's still the undisputed king."
I'm with you - I can't watch any of them anymore. Colmes is an unbearable pompous nitwit - Hannity is a good guy but I get tired of hearing him rant instead of actually discussing an issue. Greta is tiresome when she can't examine anything except the latest murder/rape/disappearance (pure tabloid stuff). I don't dislike O'Reilly as much as some here, but I don't particularly want to listen to him, either.
Actually, O'Reilly is so bad that I am pining for Joe Pyne and Morton Downey Jr. who are dead and at peace, as opposed to O'Reilly who died along time ago but seems to be haunting the Fox News Channel at 8 pm ET.
Oh, but it's OK for you to miss your blonde!!!
What is the meaning of "popinjay" ?
And Joe Scarborough has gotten unbearable; with Barbara Boxer and any other Bush basher he could find.
Tucker sometimes is interesting...but I can't stand that horrible dyke.
O'Reilly, you mean the guy who went to Harvard...used to host inside edition and thinks one guy in the oil industry controls all the prices....
That genius??
It really is for the Shut-in and 65 to dead crowd...
Pppinjay: A vain or conceited person, one given to pretentious displays.
Scarborough used to be good; but he's absolutely gleeful about Bush's low poll ratings, and has all these lefties on to gloat with him.
Thank you!!
When I compare either of them to watching paint dry....it looks marvelous.
JMHO of course, but I don't see any reason to watch Fox or it's competitors just to see which blond is missing this week, or to see a bunch of lawyers yell at each other on some faux "news" show before they all go out and have a drink together.
But that's just me and everyone should watch what they like, it's a free country after all. Or that's what they tell me.
yea, we only have a few choices of what we watch on tv, i'd rather watch Fox than CNN or MSNBC.
I can't take Bill. He is a blowhard and an ass. I'm very tired of his act.
I tried to watch him but in some ways he could be the poster boy for the arrogant liberal.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
