I ama ware of the "Ahab the Arab' petition.
I think the assumption is that if MSNBC doesn't have enough commitment to the show to keep it in primetime, they won't make an effort to keep it on at all.
Who knows? At any rate, it wouldn't hurt to fight like the dickens to let MSNBC know you want the show on the air, in case it really is on the chopping block.
Have you signed the petition?

Dear supporter of "Alan Keyes Is Making Sense,"
MSNBC, in announcing their new programming line up, has left Alan's show out of prime time. They are intending to offer no conservative host in their evening programming. As grassroots activists who have benefited greatly from the truth and integrity that "Alan Keyes Is Making Sense" consistently affords its viewers, we are deeply disappointed by MSNBC's ill-advised action. We believe a time change out of their evening line up would severely limit the influence of the show, reduce its likelihood of succeeding, and send a message that MSNBC cares little about attracting new viewership.
Radical, pro-Palestinian web sites are publicly taking credit for intimidating MSNBC into this move. GLAAD and other homosexual activist organizations have also attacked the show and called for its removal.
If you care about the future of the show, please e-mail MSNBC and express your desire to keep the show on air during prime time. Let the network know that you consider Alan's show one of the smartest, hardest-hitting and most informative programs on television; that America needs Alan's brilliant and insightful analysis; and that the show's outstanding quality and honesty will guarantee a broad base of viewers over time as people continue to learn about it.
Let them know that you are an MSNBC viewer of this show NOW, and that their action is both a rejection of your loyalty to the show, and of the acceptance you have extended MSNBC because with this show they have offered frank, truthful commentary during this period of grave national challenge.
