Nancy Grace Has Had Enough! Cuts Mic Of Joran van der Sloot Friend

In a contentious interview, HLN's Nancy Grace cut off the mic of Joran van der Sloot friend John Ludwick after he blamed Sloot's victim for her murder. "You are saying that the murder victim who endured a brutal beating a super human strangulation where her neck bone was crushed, the room covered in blood,...

Spin Cycle: How The Cable Nets Would Like Us To Report The Year End Ratings

It's time to take another compelling journey into the realm of year-end cable news ratings through the oh-so-rosy lens of the network's publicists. What can you expect? Cleverly-crafted bullet points from the MSNBC, CNN, HLN, and imaginary* Fox News number-crunchers, all doing their best to somehow make Nielsen’s year-end ratings look as if, yes, everybody...

Friday Ratings: Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree…But Not The TV

Friday nights are, as we've noted before, incredibly weird. But, on the day after a big debate, with people nursing GOP hangovers and the political scene otherwise quiet and essentially shut down for the holidays, its doubly weird. Mix in the fact that the weekend before both Christmas and Hanukkah is likely full of parties,...

Friday Ratings: Bret Baier Surges At 6 p.m.

Friday nights are always a little screwy in the ratings world, with MSNBC trotting out specials at 10 p.m. and 11 p.m., and some hosts opting to cede their spot behind the desk to a guest anchor. On top of all that, it's Friday. People go out, see movies, do stuff that tends...

Rosie O’Donnell On Donald Trump: He’s The ‘Perfect Choice’ To Moderate A GOP Debate

New OWN host Rosie O’Donnell appeared on Joy Behar‘s HLN show, in part to talk a little smack about the current crop of GOP presidential hopefuls.

Mediaite Study: Fox News Not Number One Cable Network In Covering ‘Christmas’

For the last few years, there's been a great hullabaloo made over the "War on Christmas" -- basically, the belief that companies, networks, and other public entities have phased out "Christmas" and replaced it with "holidays." Fox News -- led in the movement by Bill O'Reilly -- has been a leader in the resistance...

Thursday Ratings: Piers Bests Most Of His Peers

Piers Morgan -- to editorialize for just a moment -- is one of our favorite cable news hosts. Maybe it's the British accent; perhaps its our affinity for Celebrity Apprentice winners. But he hasn't really, as Brian Stetler of the New York Times noted Thursday, caught on yet in the ratings.

Spin Cycle: How The Cable Nets Would Like Us To Report November’s Ratings

It's time to take another compelling journey into the realm of monthly cable news ratings through the oh-so-rosy lens of the network's publicists. What can you expect?

Friday Ratings: Your Weekend Is Ushered In By Fox News And MSNBC

Fox News routinely wins the cable news prime time ratings, and MSNBC has a string of second-place finishes under its belt, but it’s rare to get a night with both channels snagging all of the first and second-place finishes in the 25-54 year-old demo. That was the case Friday night, as the networks ran the...

Thursday’s Ratings: Jump For Joy!

Late Wednesday night, Deadline broke news that Joy Behar would be leaving her show on HLN at the end of the year. And boy, did it do wonders for her ratings. Behar attracted 198,000 viewers in the 25-54 year-old demo. The show still finished fourth, but it was a marked jump from her previous numbers...
