That Other Channel We’re Forced To Watch
CNN’s numbers fell off a cliff. And Fox’s are rocketing.
Anderson Cooper 360 is down 62% since last November, and down 70% among the 25-to-54 demographic according to Nielsen figures. Last month the CNN star came in second behind Fox’s On the Record, 1.9 million to with 672,000. But among the 25-to-54 crowd, AC360 fell behind even reruns of Countdown on MSNBC.
So why is CNN included in my cable package, and why do I have to pay to watch Fox News? Shouldn’t I get a top-rated station included in my $100+ cable fee? Or, does Canadian content mean the channels that only a coma victim would watch.
If you look at CBC numbers, there is no justification for even operating the station, other than to steal advertising money away from the free enterprise stations.
Because we are taxed to pay for the CBC, they now want us to fork over more money for the stations we don’t watch. Because CBC is taking the advertising revenue away from them.
Nice system we have.
Don’t forget to tune into Little Mosque On The Prairie, Monday thru Sunday (but especially on Sunday)! And don’t miss our 879th rebroadcast of, well, any one of Michael Moore’s fact-laden documentaries on our hard-news channel! À Bientôt!
Give me Fox any day..
