Nothing will change for at least 6 months - no one is even having meetings on this. You don't throw 15 million dollars at someone and expect them to change viewing habits in a week.
While I am not a fan of her's and have not watched the show, nor do I have plans to - I will give it a few months to settle in.
I believe their idea was to increase ratings. They didn't understand their audience...over 65, doesn't follow the issues too closely, Democrat, doesn't like to change show preferences too often, comfort.
Everyone else is gone and ain't coming back. Unless they get a Brit Hume or different point of view to get NEW demographics, they will be stuck with the same ratings over the three channels. The puff pieces were good for train-wreck-watchers, but they already saw the wreckage.
