Fox News pretty much controls cable news, but there might be a crack in their armor. O’Reilly, Hannity, and Van Susteren pretty much destroy the competition in the evening on cable news. Even the replays of their earlier shows later in the evening normally beat the competition soundly.
So why tinker with a successful thing? Some believe Fox News is losing the all-important viewers between the ages of 25-54 and that is the reason for the change.
Fox News lost me years ago.
It appears that Fox News star Megyn Kelly is moving to primetime and will possibly take over the 9 p.m. (eastern) slot currently occupied by Sean Hannity. Nobody really knows where Hannity will go. I suspect that Van Susteren will move to another spot in the day, and Hannity will take her slot, but that is just my idea. It would make sense to put Kelly in between O’Reilly and Hannity. It would be a ratings bonanza for Kelly. Maybe Fox News needs more moderation during that time. Kelly would be more moderate than Hannity. (more…)
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was on television last night being interviewed by Sean Hannity on his Fox News show. On CNN, we had the premier of Piers Morgan Tonight. Morgan interviewed Oprah Winfrey. A new episode of House was on the Fox Network.
There wasn’t a Monday Night Football game…so I was kind of lost. Football games are few and far between these days and that is depressing enough for a Tuesday.
So I watched House. I flipped over to watch Piers Morgan during the commercials. I caught up with the Sarah Palin interview via Fox’s website this morning. Preliminary numbers show that Hannity still won the timeslot.
Disclosure: I voted for McCain and Palin.
Face it, Sarah Palin is a real force in the conservative political world. She can raise money. Many of her endorsed candidates win. If you are a candidate on the far right side of the fence, you want her on your side. If you are a Republican In Name Only (RINO), watch out. (more…)
