Ouch.
O’Reilly must be freaking out over the ratings debacle on Tuesday because he’s interrupting his vacation to call into his own show tonight.
Is it Juan Williams who is substituting for him?
Eric Bolling is hemorrhaging O’Reilly’s viewers.
Funny to see O’Reilly interrupt his vacation to try to stop the bleeding tonight.
O’really is the original bloviator.
Actually I look forward to guest hosts on the blowhard show...more “watchable”
Megyn was wanting to make history. You could see it in her face during debate.
Well, you did make history, pumpkin. Your “wherever” is now infamous.
“He is not hosting this week.”
Then i am not sure why his numbers went down?
Yeah, but O’Reilly was lucky to be off this week while this blows over. With a mouth like his, he probably would have waded in too deep for his britches too.
“She has Erick Erickson, Martha ham, etc. to thank”
-—It was more Katie Pavlich/Erickson than Ham...tho she was involved.
Facebook comments have been overwhelmingly negative. Really bad. I’m not a Facebooker, but I do follow the occasional link to see the comments. Megyn/FOX really struck a nerve with their viewing public.
Fox News is up. That is all they really care about. They can replace the bimbo Shep or Megyn.
I wonder if Trump threatened Ailes to block Fox from all the cable transmission in all his hotels and apartment buildings.
Might be Eric Bolling.
The O’Reilly show is a very personality driven program. Like him or not, people seem to watch based on Bill’s persona. The show rarely does as well without him on. For a long time the stand-ins were radio talk show hosts (Ingraham and Malkin are two that come to mind) and I assume it was hoped they could use their talk radio platforms to help stem the ratings losses when BoR isn’t around.
When Juan subs for him, the ratings take a big hit. But that isn’t unusual.
I think they are grooming the guy from Water’s World to fill that slot when BoR goes, but that is just a guess.
Megyn has made the 9PM EST time slot a massive hit for Fox. Much better ratings than Hannity was getting and she is even beating BoR in the demo periodically now. She is Fox’s rising star which is why I really don’t think angry Trump supporters are going to have any effect.
Yeah, but he’s still fortunate to be off this week. He minimizes his damage. And even with the phone call tonight, he knows what to avoid saying. But still, its O’Reilly, he may step right into it anyway.
Overall Fox News is NOT up..
Their entire Prime Time schedule was down 7% last night versus Monday. That’s a lot of advertising rebates Ailes will need to give to their guaranteed advertisers.
Maybe. But it don’t take long to put up a channel on Roku. That would cost cable companies big time and would defund Fox even more.
I won’t watch Kelly anymore
to hell with her
Eric Bolling is a Trump basher.
