Nancy grace beat bathtub boy in the 8pm slot…..HAHAHA,Oreilly crushed him agaian.What happened to all that excitement and boasting when scott mccellan was on your show olby…..orilly,then grace…then olbyman…hahahha
Glenn beck beats out chris matthews,….If msnbc was smart,they would get beck and put him at 8pm against oreilly.cause olberman is finished.
How is Olbermann finished? He is has the highest rated show on MSNBC and his show is only a few years old.
WOOOOW! look at those numbers for morning joe! 149k in the demo and 400k total viewers… even beating american morning and 2nd place behind “fox & fiends”. awesome! and that was with joe there too… the ratings are usually pretty low with him there. lol i cant complain, hes a cool cat. :]]
Olbermanns ratings will slip even more since COMCAST is moving MSNBC to Digital only in many areas. Anyone with the old analog cable wont see him any more. Its all the more incentive for me to stick with Analog as long as Comcast still has it. NBC is the worst the big 3 networks by car and its appendage, MSNBC, is a chip off the old blockhead. NBCs glory days are far past.
olberman has been on for 10 years………..you only been watching that loser for 5.
