Joe Scarborough is under intense pressure to perform as he goes head-to-head with old foe Don Imus.
MSNBC chiefs have been nervously watching the ratings since Imus' show on the Fox Business Network started airing at the same time as Scarborough's "Morning Joe" earlier this month.
Scarborough was hit with a further blow this week when his radio show was dropped by DC radio station WMAL.
A source told Page Six: "Those higher up at MSNBC are unnerved by Imus' move to Fox Business Network and fear his show could push Scarborough down. They're putting a lot of pressure on Joe to keep the ratings up. To make things worse, there are multiple scores to be settled."
Tom Bowman, Imus' old producer at MSNBC, jumped to Fox Business with him, and is said to have harsh feelings toward Scarborough and his executive producer, Chris Licht. "So they [Imus and Bowman] are out to win," said our source.

HA HA HA HA!
Serves you right Joe!
Two slugs battling for turf ,,,,,, that’s funny .
That's part of Joe Blow's problem right there...
Imus strikes me as a shrunken man and that huge hat only adds to the image. Be that as it may - Go I Man. Thrash Mourning Jo.
After kissing MSNBC butt Joe will soon find out he is out of a job..Then guess where he will go for work..You got it FOX..
One suckup vs. another.
..and fear his show could push Scarborough down.
How much further down are we talking? Scarborough's show is already in the toilets, he just didn't have any other shows to compete with him in his timeslot.
Is there a better example of how the Republicans have gone wrong since 1994 than Joe Scarborough?
Anyone know anything about how one would find this channel?
.
“Anyone know anything about how one would find this channel?”
Nope. I have Time Warner, and have no idea where Fox Business News would be. It’s amazing Imus has any viewers on a channel this hard to find!
“I have Dish TV but I still haven’t found the new Fox Financial Network. Anyone know anything about how one would find this channel?”
We looked in to Dish, but in order to get Fox Business News (not Fox Financial — not sure if that exists), you have to get the top level package. We have DirecTV, and FBN is part of a lower-level package.
It's going to take a few billion in stimulus bucks to repair the bridges that Joe's burned.
Not bloody likely. Ailes will “wish him well in his job search”, and throw Joes’ coffee cup away as he shows him to the door.
Switch to DirecTV.
You got that right!
Do you really think they can be repaired?
Fox Business News is 359 on DirecTV.
