Wonder what kind of ratings just having an Aquarium Cam would get in that time slot.

Katie Couric CBS 'EVENING NEWS' premiered with a 9.1 household, metered market rating and fell continuously thereafter: 9.1--7.0--6.5--4.9. Friday's household rating earned Katie third place... Developing...
As a person who likes Rush, I don't like the networks more. It isn't like you couldn't hear Rush any other time.
"Why not just admit her stance, goals and agenda?"
Because lying is in the nature of the left. They cannot tell the truth because it unmasks them.
The Soviet Union built a wall.. to keep people in. That's todays RAT party.
How about a hand puppet?
Bring in Connie Chung...that oughtta fix things.
Maybe her ratings will fall through the basement. ;-)
WE HAD THIS LAST WEEK!

The overnight Nielsen Ratings are in, and they are a disaster for Katie Couric.
Couric's CBS Evening News was beaten by ABC WNT in New York, Chicago and other major markets
After all the hype, CBS and the other networks had expected a "honeymoon" lasting for at least a month as viewers sampled Couric's new show. It lasted one night.
Although she eeked out a national ratings win, the big cities have already abandoned her.
In places such as New York, Chicago and Philadelphia, where the big advertising dollars are spent, last night's CBS/Couric ratings free-fall mean one thing; Viewers sampled her Wednesday night, and didn’t like what they saw.
The huge ratings drop would have been understandable had there been a major breaking story, and viewers would have been expected to go to Gibson or Williams for Cronkiteian experience and “gravitas.” But it was a slow news night, a perfect time for Couric's "perky charm" to radiate and attract viewers, but both she and the ratings fell flat.
Bottom line, $15 million a year and months of super-hype.... all for nothing.
Old contacts at CBS I spoke with this AM said everyone is making lunch reservation to eat/drink together.... but at restaurants far from Black Rock or West 57th. Everyone wants a "tribal think" to decide who (other than themselves) is to blame for this disaster, but they are eating in out of the way places in Greenwich Village or the East Side, so they won’t be seen together.
I WILL HAVE AN "INSIDE THE WEEKEND COCKTAIL PARTIES" REPORT FROM CBS INSIDERS LATER TODAY.
As long as they are sticking to the "fake but accurate" strategy, they ought to bring in Michael Moore.
..Matt Lauer refuses to leave NBC..
The petshop.com dog for a failed show.
Drop between Tuesday and Wednesday - 23%
Drop between Wednesday and Thursday (Rush Day) - 7%
Drop between Thursday and Friday - 25%
Rush managed to stem the tide for a day, and the program resumed the 20+% slide the next day.
Katie's toast. Now we are going to have to listen to endless whining about how Americans are just too hidebound and parochial to accept a Woman Anchorwoman.
Which is similar to what we will be hearing after the voters soundly reject Hillary! in 2008. To which I say that America is fully ready for a Woman President (or Anchor Woman), but not for that particular Woman.
I have never watched a single alphabet newscast for at least a decade.
Wonder what kind of ratings just having an Aquarium Cam would get in that time slot.
For $75 million over five years she can afford to laugh anyway.
Appears her problem is one of GRAVITAS.
Eggsactly.... Once everyone saw the circus freak and the same-o liberal pap, it was time to move along.
I would gladly watch the aquarium cam.
