If any of the January 6 Commission’s hearings are again scheduled to take place in prime time, it’s entirely possible that the networks will take a “hard pass” next time:

The Hill’s Joe Concha adds some context:

CNN and MSNBC were up because that’s basically the 1/6 Commission’s base, and no doubt they’ll be hoping for another hearing in prime time, but the networks certainly won’t.

The Left criticized Fox News for not airing the hearing (it was broadcast on Fox Business) but they did discuss what was going on during their regular programming.

And it sucked bad enough for a CNN legal analyst to attack the hearing.

They didn’t broadcast it for the ratings.

MSNBC’s ratings bump won't last. MSNBC will be back to their normal low ratings next week:

DPRK show trial. Tyrants on display, with useful idiot “Lizard” Cheney in the spotlight.

On the other hand, it was a really good hockey game. Didn’t end well for the Rangers, though.

Is that why they hired an ex ABC producer to produce the TV aspect of it?
It’s always for the ratings. No ratings, no effect.

IF this travesty had been an Off-Broadway play, it would have OPENED & CLOSED in one night.

Do you think they care about ratings? Pfft it’s about visuals screw the viewership... their hate for us and Trump is immeasurable. Those bastards are acting exactly like the German Nazis when they annihilated 6 million Jews because of their sick warped utopia mentality and the Jews were in their way. This is the way it is here in America now it’s the Christians conservatives who are the modern day 1945 Jew. History has a bad habit of repeating itself... sad but true.

Reminds me of the summer of 1973 and the Watergate hearings on all three channels all day long, then a rehash of it at night.

Good comparison of the normal nightly news viewership compared with primetime for this show.

I mentioned to my wife last week that 20 million watched Stormy Daniels piece on 60 minutes and that would be the high end of total viewership. We are talking folks addicted to Trump hate.

So, 80 million people voted for Sleepy Joe and yet only 1 out of 8 watched to see how the evil Orangeman tried to steal it from him.

You mean to tell me it was on?
I forgot to set the DVR!
What will I do now?

Can some Freeper post a printed copy of the proceedings...
Just in case we run out of toilet paper or range targets...

Well, it worked didn't it?

The premise of the "Threat to democracy" is weak but the glitz and publicity of the one sided point of view is the visual people will remember and talk about 20 years from now.

To an unbiased observer this kangaroo court presentation is just as threatening to our republic. It is a banana republic tactic that is destined to backfire, like the second impeachment trial.

True if the Rangers are going on to get chewed up by the Aves, they are going to have to win one in Florida. Which the Lightning did in their barn. Great game, I’m pretty torn up about missing the hearing. I can’t find my priority list. I think the dog ate it.
