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.

Jennifer Eccleston...the desert fox.

Yep! I loved Breakfast Time! I was so disappointed that they ruined such an originally great show! Eventually Tom quit the show...and I believe Carol Burnett became the host before it was cancelled.

Greta's a Fox!;^}

You forgot the /sarcasm

[Dead Dog]

Almost as hot as my fiance...

Another sign that Fox and Friends is really kicking butt is that it is live across the country, so it is over by 6 a.m. in the West.

Tell me about it.... I get up between 5 & 5:30 just to watch the last portion of the show!

I hate to say this, but the most beautiful woman on cable television is not on Fox.

The most beautiful woman on cable television is Rudi Bakhtiar of CNN Headline News. CNN, for some reason, puts her on late at night. This woman is Helen-of-Troy beautiful.

"Jennifer Eccleston...the desert fox."

I'd love to be holed up in a bunker in Bagdad overnight with Jennifer... I also love the was she seems to bounce up and down as she reports... ever notice that?

Years ago I used to do color on high school basketball games. During the regular season most of our broadcast games pitted two teams both of which were in our broadcast coverage area.

For those games our coverage was very neutral. Our coverage took great pains to be absolutely neutral. But at the end of the season, there were the state tournaments. When one of the teams in our coverage area played a team not in our coverage area, we were very biased for the local team.

This never caused us a problem.

When it is American Democrats fighting American Republicans it is important for news channels to remain neutral. However nearly every channel except Fox skews for the left. But when it is the USA against Iraq, nearly every channel except Fox goes neutral.

When all their was was ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, CNBC, and MSNBC all skewing left it was hard for us to know the truth. But with Fox Talk Radio and the Internet, the so called major media can no longer convince people they are neutral. Bagdad Bob would have been believeable if we did not have conficting reports. But once we had live vidceo showing the truth Bagdad Bob became a joke.

With the internet and Fox the major media is becomming a joke. With each new national situation, the major media will begin to resemble Baghdad Bob.

The major media keeps telling themselved it is the babes and presentation that is garnering the audience. By the time they figure out their real problem. Fox will be THE MEDIA.

All the major media would have to do is focus group the public to find why Fox is winning the contest for audience. The problem for the major media is not that they lie to the public. Their worst problem is they lie to themselves.

Steve is friggin cool.

Steve is my total favorite, and I love his humor.

Bob the Puppet used to make me laugh so hard that I would be doing Danny Thomas "spit-takes" with my coffee!

I also remember the "Friday Strut", where the whole crew would dance around the apartment in an effort to get ready for the weekend!

It was the most unique show I can remember watching. You never knew what was going to happen - so you felt compelled to watch for fear that you would miss something!

Oh, and Laurie's short skirts didn't hurt any either!

[Dead Dog]

... ever notice that?

No...my fiance lurks here.

[FoxGirl]

I love them all!

[varon]

And unlike "Karbula Katie", Edie smiles!!

Agreed, also E. D. has personality. When "K K" smiles it looks like she is suffering from constipation.

[ConservativeMan55]

Ahhhhh the memories....Man now I remember why I watched that show so much! The only thing I have seen that comes close to this is the first 2 years of Fox and Friends.

[FoxGirl]

I also love the was she seems to bounce up and down as she reports... ever notice that?

Yeah, I've noticed that! Too cute! She must not have paid attention to the rules of Speech 101, but then I guess you don't care about that! ha!

[Stars N Stripes]

Ahhh... yes... I understand....

[Saundra Duffy]

It's infuriating when you have to stay at hotels and FOX News is not even an option. In fact, strangely enough, most hospitals do not offer FOX News. Sheeeesh. Why?! At the VA Hospital in Fresno, they have CNN blaring in eating areas and waiting areas. I doubt if FOX News is an option. WHY?????????!!!!!!!!!

[Stars N Stripes]

"but then I guess you don't care about that! ha!"

yup!

[FoxGirl]

Almost as hot as my fiance...

Ha. You're one smart dude.

[Dead Dog]

I didn't notice how she bats her eyes either.
