FOX NEWS CHANNEL’S FOX & FRIENDS DEFEATS BROADCAST NETWORK FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE WEEK Thu Apr 17 2003 16:54:06 ET

For the second week in a row, Fox News Channel’s (FNC) morning program, Fox & Friends defeated CBS’s The Early Show across the board, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Despite being available in 25 million fewer homes, Fox & Friends averaged 2,863,000 total viewers to The Early Show’s 2,770,000 viewers for the week ending April 11th. Fox & Friends also posted more viewers in both the key advertiser friendly 25-54 and 18-49 demographics, averaging 1,480,000 and 1,210,000 viewers respectively, to CBS’s 1,234,000 and 1,074,000 viewers in those categories.

Remember the "Stepford Wives?" Sometimes I think CNN is "The Stepford Anchorettes."

I bet Paula has second thoughts about leaving Fox for the "Complicity News Network"

It's worth knowing that the audio feed from Fox News Channel is one of the stations included in the channel lineup on XM Satellite Radio. XM is great!

The Fox women all are smart, and they also all have distinct personalities, which makes them even more beautiful.

If you just look at the Fox women as bodies, I don't really think they're particularly good looking.

I think they're beautiful BECAUSE of their minds.

I watch to see BG Brooks. Seriously, I don't understand how anyone can watch those broadcast morning shows.

And, then, there's my tagline....

"If you just look at the Fox women as bodies, I don't really think they're particularly good looking."

Juliette Huddy, Kiran Chetwin, Allison Camarrotta, Jane Skinner . . . . HUH?

[goodnesswins]

Have recently been catching the end of Fox and Friends (Seattle area)....getting up at 4am is a bit of a COMMITMENT....but, hey....we may just start!

[Dutchgirl]

I always want to see this man show up one day and take his place without any announcement or explanation...have every one call him "Steve"

IMHO it was Centcom that put "Fox n Friends" over CBS. Who wants to see their news "filtered" by the media? And can Mike Tobin's pants get any tighter as he chats up the red head? It's better than "The Batchelor"...

[Timesink]

Yet there is something odd about the CNN women---is it just me?---they all seem to be almost robotic. They are pretty, yet not "attractive."

No, it's not just you, and it's not just CNN's women ... their men are just as bad. They are all dull and sullen, because it's CNN's "style" to be dry as dirt.

All those people from Whose Line is it Anyways are DemocRATS. Except maybe Drew Carey.

The network stuff must be truly dreck, to be beaten by the braindead morning crapfest on Fox.

[Stars N Stripes]

I've been getting up at 4:00 AM for years now, just to see Steve E.D. and Brian (and Mancow) every morning here on the south-left coast. I don't need to be to work till 8:00AM, but I just love those guys sooo much! They are the new paradigm of morning news.

PS... Kiran has the most beautiful brown eyes!!!

Braindead Morning Crapfest? HUH??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[DaughterofEve]

I love Steve and think he's quite cute...to each his own!

[ConservativeMan55]

Steve is friggin cool.

Now to knock down the $65 Million Woman and Chia Pet Head.

They've tried this in the past. The FX Channel used to have a great, though much more light-hearted, show called "Breakfast Time" that was SO much more entertaining than any of the other morning shows.

When they realized they had something good, they decided to switch it to Fox to try and compete with the other network shows. They renamed the show "Fox After Breakfast", and basically changed the whole format, eventually dumping cutie co-host Laurie Hibberd (Regis' Gelman's wife) and keeping Tom Bergeron as the sole host.

They also dumped "Bob The Puppet", who was hilarious, got rid of the "Road Warriors", who were arguably the best part of the show, and soon found themselves in the can.

Keep it on Fox News! It's a news program, not a morning show. Don't make the same mistake twice Fox!

BTW, I used to LOVE Breakfast Time. One day they had a then unheard of band of sisters and brothers from Ireland on - and I was very impressed. Turned out to be the Corrs!
