Hey, welcome to this special bonus segment of the podcast, just for you podcast listeners.

Lots to talk about, hey, you know, Fox News channel, Fox News, you know, they always beat MSNBC and CNN.

They always clobber them in the ratings.

But you know, in the latest ratings, latest Nielsen, this is pretty interesting.

Fox News in prime time now beats all the networks, too. Fox News in primetime beats ABC, NBC, CBS. You know,

you go back to the glory days of, you know, Dallas is on CBS in the 80s or law and order back in the 90s or back in those days.

These prime time shows on the networks, NBC, ABC, CBS, they would have 20 million viewers, 25, a big hit 30 million.

If you were Cheers or Seinfeld, you could have 40, 50 million viewers.

But now, primetime network television, look at this, ABC, 2.3 million, 2.3.

NBC, 2.2.

CBS, only 2 million viewers.

You know, the Ed Sullivan show used to be 40, 50 million viewers.

Dallas, when it was on Friday nights, it was 30 million, 40 million.

Now it's 2 million.

The thing is, when you got 40 million viewers, you're getting a hell of a lot of money for advertisers,

and you've got to make a fortune, and you can afford afford to do Dallas and you can film all over the place and you can afford to do blue bloods where there's car chases and you know what it cost to film all that? Well, when you only got two million viewers, you can't afford that. And that's why when you watch TV now, you're seeing almost nothing but game shows.

The game show, you build a set and that's it for five years, that one set, and it doesn't cost you much.

So, a huge, huge drop in network television. Fox News does like three million viewers in prime time, four million sometimes.

So Fox News clobbering the networks.

Now MSNBC, if they're lucky, they'll do 700,000, just 700,000,

they'll never hit a million again.

CNN, about 400,000.
