Ping!

Damn. So much for Fox finaly solving its 10pm problem. Acutaly, I think Keyes will not do well. He has a very annoying voice and personality, even if he is very bright and makes good points. I just don't think that he'd be good tv for an hour, 5 times a week. Ratings will tell though..

Great news!!! Now here come the naysayers!

[cactusSharp]

now if these competing cable outlets ever put the BLACK AVENGER,Ken Hamblin in TV, I'm there with vcr.......

[Illbay]

Suddenly it's HIP to be SQUARE!

MSNBC jumping on bandwagon driven by EIB, ClearChannel and FOX.

National Review's own Richard Brookhiser has described Mr. Keyes as America's answer to Mussolini. I've heard him speak a couple of times and consider the comparison apt. The guy's so shrill and off-putting I can't imagine him surviving long on TV, unless he learns to tone it down a bit.

Isnt 10:00 PM when Greta Van OJ is doing her show on Fox? At least Alan will have some weak competition. And he is going to need weak competition. While I am a big Alan Keyes fan, still having a Bush/Keyes 2000 bumper sticker in my cube at work and Alan Keyes campaign buttons as well I do not think he nor his temperment is made for being a talking head show host. I wish him the best and hope I am wrong.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Wow, that's fabulous. Kudos to MSNBC for giving him an opportunity, even if it is a token sop. I think he'll make them very happy with this decision. Indirect thanks to FOX Newschannel, this would never have happened without the impact they have made. Will be interesting in 6-months to see the ratings spike they'll show, flat til 10pm, big bump, then drop back at 11!

So is this gonna be up against Greter? If so, smooth move by MSNBC. Now if they could just turn Nora, Ashley, and Campbell into good conservative girls(they can keep Kris Ginsing).

[abner]

I will watch Keyes over Van Sustern any day of the week.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Wow! This is an exciting development.

[Clinton's a liar]

FYI.

[harpu]

Sorry, CaL, but MSPMS is a perfect location for a RINO, like Dr. Keyes, to continue his damage to the pubbie party...

[Clinton's a liar]

LOL! Hugs.

Finally, something decent on TV during the 9pm CST viewing hour. :)

[HaveGunWillTravel]

Tremendous news! Alan Keyes is awesome!!!! My year is made!

[japaneseghost]

I thought he got a Ph.D. in economics from Howard...

[AppyPappy]

National Review's own Richard Brookhiser has described Mr. Keyes as America's answer to Mussolini.

Brookhiser can't stand the fact that Keyes is his intellectual better. Comparing Keyes to Mussolini is like comparing Ashcroft to Hitler.

[Pokey78]

I just hope if/whenever his show is cancelled, he won't cry 'racism' like he did when WSB-Atlanta wouldn't let him in their debate.

But, good luck to him.

[frmrda]

Absolutely right. Keyes is OK in small doses, but although I agree w/ him on many things he is annoying as all hell.

I want to count the number of times he tells his guests to "Let Me Finish!". I wish him luck, but I think he's being set up by MSNBC, but one must give Fox News the credit, b/c without them the liberal media would not be trying to get conservative shows to boost ratings.
