For MSNBCs Countdown with Keith Olbermann, the ratings trend is not his friend.
It was to be expected that his ratings would fall from the election boosted heights in late 2008, but his latest adults 25-54 demo (targeted by cable news advertisers) averages for July, 2009 are below those of July, 2008 (when only the last few moments of drama remained to be squeezed out of the Democratic nomination contest). Any hopes that the election year surge would be boosting his long term audience seem to be fading.
GE will keep him on if he has only two viewers!
When you suck, you suck and sooner or later, your consumers/watchers will figure such out and move on.
Ever since Shep left Olbermann at the alter he’s just never been the same...
The most liberal person I know even conceded that Olbie is a complete story warping DB
Could it be he’s been on vacation most of July?
This guy is such a nut that he will say or do something outrageous in an attempt to boost his ratings. In so doing, he will embarrass his network and they will have to fire him just like ESPN did.
Not that he’d notice...spending his time recently in the Rubber Room Resort, lately. >Bo)
I want him off Sunday Night Football.
If this trend continues, Olberdouche’s ratings will be negative when November sweeps begin.

Keith, John has a booth at Starbucks for losers with ratings of zero . . . |

Like Dr. Levin calls this show, “Countdown To No Ratings with Keith Overbite”! Hahaha!
I REFUSE to watch Sunday Night Football as long as that twerp Overbite is on. I’ll listen to the game on the RADIO (while I smoke a fine hand rolled cigar, relaxing on my patio) if I am not at the game.
Countdown to Zero w/Keith Olbermann should be the show’s new name.
Hey, he could even have 0bama as a guest star, that would work well.
There is a striking similarity between Olberdonk's ratings and Obamadonk's popularity...
This loser is STILL on TV?
I thought television was a business? You would think they would be interested in making money.
But maybe they are willing to lose money to push their agenda on anyone unfortunate enough to tune into their drivel.

Ok, I'll admit it. An hour of dead air might have better ratings than Keith Olbermann.
I see olbie’s been gone a lot lately. Involuntary committment? Detox? Rubber room?
