Spanish-language behemoth
Univisión bests NBC in
hunt for sweeps ratings as
struggling ´Peacock Network´
hits bottom for first time ever

New York Daily News, by Gina Salomone

NBC is set to finish fifth for the first time ever in one of television’s all-important sweeps months — bested even by Spanish-language Univisión. It’s a dramatic drop for the network, which came out on top both in last February’s sweeps and in the last round of ratings wars in November.But without its fall anchors, “Sunday Night Football” and “The Voice,” NBC was left with new shows that flopped — “1600 Penn,” “Do No Harm” and a much-promoted new season of “Smash” that has so far failed to click with viewers.

On the one hand, people don´t watch Tv stations they watch Tv shows, so the NBC brand shouldn´t really be a factor. On the other hand, to the extent that brand plays a factor, they´ve probably done damage to their brand with a healthy percentage of the population due to their biased news division. I know I fly be them as fast as I can when surfing.

Of course sucky shows don´t help. Haven´t watched so couldn´t tell ya. I guess 1600 Penn is some sort of whitehouse sitcom? Can´t wait to miss that again.

They better start forcing Univision to feature shows with fun homosexuals before its too late. They also better make Government school force all the kids to watch NBC´s "The New Normal".

Yes #1. And perhaps Rachel Maddow can be his on stage wife? Well deserved ratings so far as I´m concerned . . . dead last!

#1, David Axelrod already is on the funniest show on television....Morning Joe.

How many regular Americans are refusing to watch any NBC shows? They spend the entirety of 2012 openly calling half of America racist. But no article I have seen has mentioned that this might be a factor.

And let us not forget that Brian Williams is THE decision maker as to what goes into (or is ignored by) NBC Nightly News and that Rock show they are trying to save. NBC is the network that totally ignored the U.S. gun running on the border and death of our agent, and when indictments came (and what every happened there?) had to scramble to explain what was going on as they had never mentioned Troopergate. I suspect what has happened with NBC is that loyal viewers just don´t trust the Net anymore and are not turning it on, whereas Univision still has viewers who believe in it. We constantly hear that Chrissie Matthews is an embarrassment, but Williams is actually more so, as he is not a newsman but plays one on t.v.

I don´t watch any of the networks at all. The one exception is "Bluebloods" on CBS. And thats only because the openly conservative Tom Selek is the star and its the one entertainment program that isn´t a disguised liberal agenda program. Other than that, I get my unbiased news from FOX and FOX Business with an occasional trip to C-SPAN. There is infinitely more entertaining shows on the various cable stations, so I don´t have to watch or listen to progressive brainwashing and dumbing down of the population. NBC deserves what it is getting. God knows it has worked hard to attain it. I only hope that ABC and CBS follow suit.

Sorry for the double post. Brian Williams is the face of NBC. Is it just a teensy bit possible that ordinary Amuricans are creeped out by his repeated proclamations on late night that he watches his daughter´s sex scenes on the HBO show, Girls? It´s creepy.

Ratings collapse at NBC is legacy of the character George on this net´s last hit, Seinfeld. During Jerry and George´s interview with NBC executives on proposed pilot, George pitched his "show about nothing". When asked by faux NBC president why anyone would watch such a show, George responded, "Because it´s on TV!"

Like the consistent loser, George Costanza, NBC proceeded to produce a lot of shows about nothing. Perhaps NBC can sign Hillary for a dramatic series, State of Affairs. Or, Hillary, Obama, John Brennan and Susan Rice for Benghazi!, an action series about a special WH team that produces fake cover stories to hide failures. Or, Drone, where audience would watch 1 hour shows of Obama´s speeches.

Actually "1600 Penn" is not a bad show. The President is a Republican and the way the left is portrayed (moonbats) is more accurately portrayed than one would think for a msm show. Not a bad show at all.

Don´t they have the same owner?

The propaganda arm of the White House just stays below our radar by using Univision for their spewing.

I find this to be as amusing as when I found out that RuPaul´s show on LOGO beat out Piers Morgan´s show on CNN by at least 100,000 viewers. NBC hasn´t been on top since the Cosby show and Night Court were on the air on Thursdays. (must see tv!)

I watched about 15 minutes of 1600 Penn and as usual it had smart mouth kids delivering lines only a 20 year old could come up with,the usual angry disrespectful teenager and an older son who´s role was that of a brain dead misfit. Their parents don´t deserve to run a truck stop much less a country. Actually same kids that show up in most sitcoms-no wonder no one watches.

It does float to the top, only this time the Obozo network thinks the top is like golf, the one with the lowest score wins, they certainly all the kudos for getting the lowest score.

´1600 Penn´ only took ten minutes of watching to be rejected.

´Do No Harm´ was odd and improbable. CBS has better shows. ´The Odd Wife´ is very interesting, but I get tired of the liberal preaching on all of them.


Reply 22 - Posted by: snichols, 2/22/2013 11:51:02 AM     (No. 9190830)

Do No Harm was on for about 15 minutes. Ridiculous program...guy changes into a monster every night at 8:30pm? Horrible.

There has been a quiet boycott of this network and to some extent, all three of the regular networks. Like people voting with their feet, we have been voting with our remotes. So many of the sitcoms these days are insulting to ones intelligence. They make dad look stupid and he is often disrespected. I often wonder if that´s the way they see the lives of "the regular people". There are way too many other options out there these days for them to be offering the garbage they offer and expect us not to change the channel. When you doctor the news to fit your narrative, why are you surprised when we don´t watch the network as a whole?

Journalist Michael Hastings dies;
autopsy results will take weeks

Los Angeles County coroner´s officials said Wednesday the body recovered from a fiery, single-car crash in Hollywood that apparently killed journalist Michael Hastings will likely undergo an autopsy Thursday. But an official cause of death and closure of the case is not likely for four to six weeks or perhaps longer, they said. Coroner´s officials are hoping the results will answer why the accident happened. Officials were attempting to match dental records to help make a positive identification. The death of the 33-year-old Hastings was announced Tuesday by his employer, BuzzFeed,

Meet the Women for Weiner. The former congressman, who apologized for the lewd picture scandal that ended his House career before launching a bid last month for New York City mayor, is holding a fundraiser hosted by “Women for Anthony” next week at the Manhattan home of an education activist and philanthropist. The host committee is led by his wife, Huma Abedin, and includes her sister, Heba; Rory Tahari, wife of designer Elie Tahari; and Cheryl Saban, the wife of California-based mega-donor Haim Saban, who funded a short film lauding Hillary Clinton’s tenure at the State Department

Known as the City of the Century, it was once the centre of the country´s booming steel industry. But now Gary, Indiana, lies in ruins as a tragic example of American industrial decline. Authorities are desperately looking at new ways to combat the city´s crippling recession - one possiblity could be halving its size. Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson believes letting vast expanses of the city, founded in 1906 by the US Steel Corporation, return to nature might be a solution. ´I’d like to see 100,000 folks in Gary. That’d be great,´ the mayor said reported NBC News.

Massachusetts Senate Debate

News reports from the final debate between Democrat Ed Markey and Republican Gabriel Gomez conclude that Gomez, a first-time candidate and self-styled "new kind of Republican," delivered a strong performance. With just days left in the campaign before the June 25 special election for Senate, Gomez has trailed Markey, a 37-year veteran of the House, in every single poll. Markey currently leads by average of more than 9 points. But in the debate Tuesday night, Gomez hit Markey hard on the Democrat´s long Washington tenure, a running theme in the Republican´s campaign.

The Obama administration has reportedly tried to enlist the NBA in helping it sell Obamacare to the American people. It’s unclear whether a potential marketing partnership would put big-name players at the center of ad campaigns or if it would be as simple as putting the NBA trademark on marketing materials, Politico first reported today. People can begin signing up for Obamacare in October, with the new insurance coverage kicking in next year. Many have speculated that the enrollment campaigns would benefit from a celebrity endorsement or partnership with a major sports league.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
