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.

Did Imus mention the Rush debacle this morning?
Do sit on a pole Joe.
” They’re putting a lot of pressure on Joe to keep the ratings up.”
So, the usual method is to slander anything “right-wing” and see if it sticks.
GEEEZ !!! not hard to pick out which is Joe Slugborogh .
Imus will poke fun at anyone to get a laugh (or ratings boost). He doesn’t pay homage to the sacred cows.
Good because I’m on it. Charles Payne is very good.
“Charles Payne is very good.”
We love Charles Payne — on TV and radio. After the student was killed by thugs in a Chicago beating, he told a story of the dreams he had for his future when he was young. Very interesting.
We like Jonathan Hoenig, too. I find myself screaming, “Amen!” when he speaks more than when my pastor preaches.
“They’re putting a lot of pressure on Joe to keep the ratings up. “
Alright Joe, it is time to pull your pants down for the Lefty cameras... Get your ratings up white Rino boy! Call Meghan McSorrything and she will be a great advisor of what a Rino must do when no one cares.
Rush was not mentioned that I recall.
Fox Business Channel is not on in every market. Neil ends just about every show on Fox News by mentioning that if you WANT Fox Business, call your provider. If enough people call, you will get it.
That was how those companies originally dealt with Fox News. They’d refuse to ‘buy’ it until enough customers called to complaint. They hated having to do it, too!
Two HACKS cut from the same cloth, know just enough to make dummies think you’re smart, while not being too smart yourself. The two big pseudo-intellectuals competing for the prize of top pseudo-intellectual, thrilling.
How about that Mika? Vomit inducing.
**Fox Business Channel is not on in every market**
That’s OK.. they’ll get there.. OH, btw...
YO, MS-LSD.. today IMUS Tomorrow RUSH.. and pretty soon... even the people that WORK in your BUILDING will be watching FOX BUSINESS .. heheheheheh..
Watch your BACK, SCREWBALL, Overbite, MADCOW
**Wow, getting rid of Joe on WMAL here in D.C. good bye**
got an email from WMAL .. saying CHRIS PLANTE was coming back in 9-12... figure they got tired of my weekly email..Guess I wasn’t the ONLY ONE...
I sent a complaint letter recently about Joe/Mika and got back a response that they’d received THOUSANDS of similar emails. They DO add up.
