atlnews2 557 Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Tucker has seen a slight decline in ratings since taking over for O'Reilly. Most of those losses are in the 55+ demo not very surprising http://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-fox-ratings-20170509-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of those losses are in the 55+ demo not very surprising http://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-fox-ratings-20170509-story.html A bit of a "die-off" was to be expected. 55+ can die suddenly from the loss of all kind of things such as spouses and pets. Probably just emotional shock. I'm sure FOX factored that into the cost benefit analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Muck 4167 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Tucker has seen a slight decline in ratings since taking over for O'Reilly. Most of those losses are in the 55+ demo not very surprising http://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-fox-ratings-20170509-story.html Only a 2% decline in the 25-54 money demo. Holding steady with the loyal-to-a-fault baked-in audience. You'd think that the 55-dead crowd would have absolutely no problem with Tucker's smug punchable face (same level of smug punchableness as Jesse Watters)... but apparently not?

atlnews2 557 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 FNC moral is at an all time low. Many of Ailes cronies are still in place, and Rupert seems to be taking the "lalala, I'm not listening" approach to dealing with the problem http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/05/rupert-murdoch-disaster-at-fox-news.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the rumor of hiring Rebekah Brooks to run Fox worked would be enough to anger Ofcom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago's Very Own 104 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I guess they should have submitted a bid for acquiring Tribune back here in the states, because that probably had a higher chance of happening, even with Sinclair wanting Trib stations badly, too. I'm sure Ofcom are well aware of the Fox News problems. Unless they have no regard for sexist/racist workplace cultures or are corrupt and being paid off, then it wouldn't surprise me if they're leaning towards the idea that Murdoch is not fit to have complete control of Sky. If the Sky bid falls through, I wonder what that will affect as far as Fox News goes. I think it could go either way between changing a little more or having no change whatsoever, and Murdoch will probably be pissed at someone for this (instead of himself for allowing it to go on for years and not intervening sooner).

Chicago's Very Own 104 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Honestly, I can maybe believe it if it was at WNYW. That's right in their backyard and they've taken some Fox 5 anchors and reporters for FNC, haven't they? I know Heather Nauert did Good Day New York for some time.

Chicago's Very Own 104 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 are WNYW and fox news channel in the same building? No, WNYW is about a mile north on the Upper East Side, but still probably close enough for Fox News bosses to have a closer eye on, and it's probably the flagship O&O. Several Fox News presenters even talk to WNYW anchors, I recall Bret Baier and Neil Cavuto both making regular appearances on WNYW programs, more often than I recall anyone from FNC talking to people on my local affiliate WFLD besides the occasional random Fox Business person (and it would never be Cavuto). They have more of a connection than a lot of other O&Os probably do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(A set of exterior doors on the building still bear the Metromedia logo, in the form of door handles.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie56 3066 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 And Bob Beckel was fired this morning for making a racially-insensitive remark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago's Very Own 104 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Beckel always struck me as a very cantankerous old man, I'll never forget his rant on the "wussy Euro-trash girl's game" of soccer during the World Cup, they managed to make the liberal look like the most hateful one in that panel! And this golden moment from Hannity that that article linked to. I wonder he said, and if it's in any way comparable to any apparent racially-insensitive remarks his colleagues at the network have said in the past.

Rusty Muck 4167 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Looks like Hannity is going through a slow-motion implosion. (Uhh, Sean... you still have a few days until your 60-day contract clause runs out. Escape now and preserve some semblance of your dignity.)
