Great news if you're the competition. What a yawn of a show.

Michael Smerconish? Yep, a total yawner.

It's only next Monday-Wednesday but hopefully the powers that be will realize why Countdown with Keith Olbermann gets such great ratings (his show beat Orally last Friday) -- people are hungry for shows with progressive points of view -- and lock Stephanie in that time slot permanently.

I love her show and I can't wait to see her on MSNBC.

Such great competion that MSNBC's audience is 25% of Fox News. That's the kind of winner I'd want to be.

Stephanie Miller is a horrible air talent. She can't get ratings even on radio (where she "looks: best).

"OH NO...LIBERAL TALK RADIO'S STILL ON THE AIR! WAH!!!"

Sing a new song. That one's getting old.

Liberal talk radio never wins in the ratings over Conservative talk radio. That is what this all about and nothing else. Certainly Stephanie Miller doesn't win. She has abysmal ratings.

If they're going to try someone for this shift that is liberal, they should try out Ed Shultz. He's the only liberal talk show host that has at least some ratings.

Stephanie's on close to 40 stations, Sirius, and her show will be on MSNBC next week....yeah, she's a total failure. :

While I'm not a huge fan of Ed Schultz, if I ran a progressive talk station here in Savannah (fever dream but let's go with it), I'd air him over Randi Rhodes as his "meat and potatoes/Joe Everyman" approach would work well down here in getting right-wing radio-listening Joe Sixpack to listen to progressive ideas and policies.

As long as there's an NPR affiliate in your area (or 2 or 3 or 6), you'll have liberal talk radio on the air. Which is why Air America and other attempts at liberal talk radio on AM failed. Why listen to that when you have taxpayer-funded, crystal clear signals on the air that bring you a full slate of lefty programming?

Was just in a staff meeting where an outspoke woman, who is always making liberal (ahem,"progressive") comments, just had to tell inform us that she heard about a certain merger "...on NPR." It was repeated a couple of times, so that we could all be impressed by her worldliness, intelligence and world-class intellect.

I didn't have the heart to tell her that I heard the same story, one day earlier, on my local AM 'EIB' affiliate...... ;D

It's weird...Republicans and covservatives pride themselves on knowledge and being right all the time....but yet they keep saying Air America failed. Um..."failed" means it is kaput, no more, nowhere to be heard....

Not the case in Air America. And because EIB and other right wing radio stations are rich with conservative hate mongering money they can afford to push people like Dr. Laura "I hate women who have affairs with married men but don't ask me about the affair I had with a married man" Schlessinger. And Rush "I hate drug users and dealers and they should all be shot, but don't ask me about the illegal OxyContins I have in my pocket" Limberger.

And liberals refer to anything they disagree with as "hate mongering." Air America is a failure by any measure. And, boasting that Stephanie Miller is on 40 stations!?! Wow, what a success!

Ummmm, let's see, Glenn Beck is on 265; Michael Savage is on more than 300 and I'm not even going to get into how many Rush is on.

I stand by my comment that NPR is institutionalized liberal radio. There isn't room for much more in the way of left wing talk.

Funny thing, liberal elitists love to show how "open minded" they are by spewing negative (and unfair) stereotypes about conservatives. That they are ignorant, violent and hateful. Want to see hatefulness? Go to a Starbucks while wearing a George W. Bush t-shirt. You'll see hate, then and there!

 

[Dudeman2000]

No shock...MSNBC putting on an ultra-left wing nut job? This will help them beat Fox? Miller is just a little to the left of Olberman...this will solidify MSNBC's horrible cable ratings.

I'll bet they wish they never let Imus go! ;D

 

[weee]

BRN, I ONLY show hate towards someone if they show me hate first. I am NEVER the one to show hate for no reason because that would be wrong.

My unfair stereotypes you say? Um, both my statements on Dr. Laura, and Rush, are 100% No spin on it, no lies, no nothing....it is true. sorry you can't deal with that.

And Stephaniie Miller is doing just fine.

 

[mostb1]

Libs are sure flocking to their tv screens to watch MSNBC and it's liberal lies...here
are the latest numbers:

Combined viewership of the four major cable news networks, however, was up 26% from the previous week. Fox News Channel averaged 1.09 million viewers a day for the week, a 23% increase; CNN 783,000, a 57% increase; MSNBC 373,000, unchanged from the previous week, and Headline News, 288,000, a 12% increase.

 

[raccoonradio]

>>Want to see hatefulness?

Bush Derangement Syndrome; also there's Fox Derangement Syndrome which Bernie Goldberg mentions in his
new book. He says liberals don't even notice the libs that do appear on Fox (Lanny Davis, Susan Estrich,
Eleanor Clift, Geraldo) etc. He says libs are driven "bonkers" by the "Fair and Balanced" slogan. "How, they
scream, can a news operation possibly be "fair and balanced" when it has the gall to present both sides of
the argument!")

 

[mostb1]

Stephanie Miller has HORRIBLE ratings. If you want your station to FAIL hire her. She was a failure at KABC in Los Angeles, her ratings at KTZN in Los Angeles were so bad the format had to be flipped and she is currently the lowest rated daytime host on another failure of a talk station, KTLK, in her home market, Los Angeles which currently has its lowest ratings in its history.

Stephanie Miller has been losing affiliates. She's down 1/3 since she hit the airwaves in syndication. Not one does well with her show. NOT ONE.

>>Which is why Air America and other attempts at liberal talk radio on AM failed.

AAR: the New York Yankees of Talk Radio (though maybe an unfair comparison; the Yankees
actually were successful not too long ago )

AL EAST
1) Boston
2) Baltimore
3) Toronto
4) Tampa Bay
5) NY Yankees

The trouble is, your posts imply that a disagreeable point of view (to your's) is an example of "showing you hate." The "joe six pack" comments about conservatives don't help to keep the discourse civilized. Sadly, this country is becoming so polarized that we can't even have a reasonable discussion without things getting very nasty. And it's getting worse.

The original point I was attempting to make was that AAR was not successful because liberals have their views represented by (taxpayer funded) NPR. They don't need to go to AM for such programming, because they have the non-comms.

Personally, I do not like my tax dollars going to fund what's on NPR any more than you would like having YOUR tax dollars fund those 'conservative' talk stations. But, that's not the case here, is it? Nonetheless, that's where most of Stephanie Miller's potential audience is. Meaning that, in the morning, they're tuned to "All Things Considered" and not to MSNBC.

As for Stephanie Miller's chances at success on MSNBC, it is doubtful that she would have much of a following because she is too polarizing. But it looks like MSNBC is in the process of doing rotating try-outs to fill time in the morning. To me, having a radio show on TV isn't very compelling anyway; Imus was a special case and they weren't even doing that well with him.

As mentioned earlier, MSNBC isn't really doing that well with anyone. They tout Olbermann as such a great success; but, when it comes to actual audience numbers, he is a minnow in Lake Michigan.

 

[dhett]

Did I miss something? Isn't this a TV talk board? When did it morph into Off-The-Air?

All I can say is that I wish Stephanie Miller all the success she deserves!
