JacobC 44 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Just to be honest with you, this will be the reason why NBC is suffering the lowest ratings in the history of network television. My prediction is for Megyn to get the axe while Hoda and Savannah to part ways with the network. (I’m guessing ABC for Savannah so please apologize for any of this memo) https://pagesix.com/2018/08/27/nbc-news-chairman-andy-lack-could-be-on-the-chopping-block/?_ga=2.71317467.937634399.1535456078-870457080.1525776785 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16637-andy-lack-on-the-way-out-at-nbc/#findComment-211766 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVNewsJunkie15 66 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 , this will be the reason why NBC is suffering the lowest ratings in the history of network television. https://pagesix.com/2018/08/27/nbc-news-chairman-andy-lack-could-be-on-the-chopping-block/?_ga=2.71317467.937634399.1535456078-870457080.1525776785 That is not true at all! way over exaggerated Low to mid 4 million viewers a day is what TODAY Show ratings were like during the Jane Pauley and Bryant Gumbel era same with GMA. Also Ratings (same for CBS and ABC) always drop during the Summer then go back up in the fall but ALL THREE Morning Shows Ratings are down year over year. They have all lost viewers especially CBS. NBC has lost some viewers after Matt dismissal which was expected but it has held steady for the most part. Better then cBS.

MorningNews 1448 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 There was a point not that long ago where Today averaged over 6.5 million and pushing to 7 million every morning. It's insane to see how much they've fallen. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16637-andy-lack-on-the-way-out-at-nbc/#findComment-211848 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeters 1916 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Yeah 20 years ago! That not "Not that long ago" They haven't gotten those kind of numbers since Katie Couric left. And it was only time they got those kind of numbers nit including the Olympics Those viewers are gone and not coming back. There's no reason to compare that far in the past to the present.

TVNewsJunkie15 66 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Those viewers are gone and not coming back. There's no reason to compare that far in the past to the present. I wasn't. I didn't compare anything. You are quoting the wrong person. And of course TODAY Show will never get those kind of Numbers again.

And it was only time they got those kind of numbers nit including the Olympics It hasn't even been 20 years since Katie left Today, so chill out. Today averaged 5.5 - 6 million viewers with Meredith Vieira there and even that wasn't 10 years ago. I wasn't suggesting that those numbers were possible today, I was simply stating that it's incredible how far the viewership has fallen in a short period of time. 5 years in the grand scheme of a nearly 70 year old program is a very short time.

So what did a :30 commercial cost on Today 20 years ago? How much does it cost in 2018 for the same national commercial spot? In the end... It's what you billed...not what the rating was. Shareholders could care less about ratings...they only care about profit and loss.
