Brushing up on how to do the happy dance. Years ago, I cheered when the perky one replaced Deborah Norville.
How times change.

Does anyone have the stat of how many viewers watched at the height or TV news? Was that in the Cronkite era? Cuz you have to figure that their are probably 60 70 million more people in America now than then and people are watching less and less tv while more and more channels are being added.

Why doesn’t this woman just retire and marry her “Boy Toy”.
I wouldn’t want to keep fighting at the end of my career days. Let’s just say she made a bad move. We already know the network did because they always do.

In 1980, the three commercial network nightly news broadcasts had a combined 37% rating, and a 75% share. And at their historic peak, in 1969, they had a 50% rating and an 85% share. The November 2004 figures mean that ratings have fallen almost 59.6 % since 1969, and 45.4% sinc1e 1980. Share has fallen 55.3% since 1969 and 49.3% since 1980.5

I have a difficult time believeing there is no ratings data prior to 1991. Newspeople have kept an eye on their ratings going all the way back to the 1970s.

Executives at ABC are considering ways to get viewers into an ad before they even realize it. On"Ugly Betty," for example, the camera focuses on a book as its cover dissolves into a commercial. Or there could be a real ad playing on a television that is in the scene of a show. Ah. The old we shall fool them into watching our commercials ploy.

If ad skipping is a problem, why don’t they just go to soccer playon style ads or more frequent shorter breaks? In on case you could not surf as you would be missing the program and in the other you would have less time to surf.

Get this guy a spell checker.
To: abb
Adding to the urgency, this week Nielsen Media Research begins offering ratings for commercial breaks, instead of just the shows around them.Uh oh, that's gonna to leave a mark. The advertisers are going to use those numbers as a stick to beat the networks with.
