Tucker

[jficke13]

And back to your regularly scheduled discussion of Tucker Carlson and not like a meta commentary on various posters' fixations and such:

I had predicted the Daily Wire, so I got that wrong. But, I maintain that his reach will be amplified in that the raw numbers of people that could be exposed to him will go up, but that the impact of that reach will go down. These tweets fairly sum up what I'm thinking on the subject:

i tend to agree, all viewership numbers are not created equal. The people who watched Tucker on Fox had him on as a constant part of their daily life, because Fox is white noise for a specific chunk of America.

i think this will be annoying, it will have the full might of twitter behind it, it will get more media coverage than his actual show did because it will be here and still only reach a fraction of the real world impact his prime time show held. twitter.com/tuckercarlson/…

twitter does still have influence but it's primarily a place weirdos and freaks spend too much time. fox news is the eternal wallpaper of countless gyms, hotel lounges, military bases, etc...

That’s just it and the news cycle of his Twitter vignettes will slowly evaporate. 

Twitter isn’t real life.  Each successive generation moves onto the newest social media fad/gathering place.  It’s a weird strategy for him, imo.  The no compete clause probably limits him at the moment but lost time in mass media is crucial

There aren't quite enough white supremacists and traitors posting regularly on the twits, so it's not surprising that Elon might want the best of 'em.

The other thing is that I think there is a decent share of the "Fox" viewer who is... well lets' just say that they're not necessarily the most tech savvy generation. I'll be curious what percentage of them manage to figure out how to watch a 30-60 minute television show on twitter.

They won’t.  It’ll get disseminated to them in some form but in time, they’ll lose interest in having to find it.  Someone will replace him at Fox and that’ll be the new voice for them.  It’s not complicated.

Yes, this exactly.
Tucker was a failure at two other networks (not to mention a failed would-be game show host) before Fox's right-wing starmaking machine got a hold of him and turned him what he is today.
Most of these Fox News stars were minor figures before they got there. O'Reilly was a TV news reporter and Maury Povich wannabe before Fox came along. Hannity was a small-time talk radio host. Gutfeld edited softcore magazines and blogged for HuffPost.
The hosts don't carry Fox News; Fox News carries the hosts.
As they did with the departures O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Megyn Kelly and its other dearly departed, Fox will just reach into its bag and create another star to replace Tucker.

Cable news ascendency started on January 16, 1991, when Bernard Shaw, John Holliman, and Peter Arnett reported live from a suite at the Rashid Hotel in Baghdad as Desert Strom began.

This event was so important that TIME made Ted Turner the 1991 Man of the Year



We now have more evidence that the book-end of this event just happened Fox firing Tucker Carlson.


https://deadline.com/2023/05/fox-news-tucker-carlson-may-ratings-1235383937/

The month of May was the first full month without cable news’ top primetime host, Tucker Carlson, and it showed.

Fox News continued to top primetime and total day viewers, but the margins have narrowed considerably with MSNBC, which was the only major cable news network to see viewership gains.

Fox News averaged 1.42 million viewers in primetime, a 37% drop from the same month a year ago. MSNBC averaged 1.16 million viewers, an increase of 14% from May, 2022. CNN averaged 494,000, a drop of 25%

The cable news era was from January 16, 1991, to April 24, 2023.

Yes, it existed before and after, but so do fax machines and landlines. All are equally relevant.

It's crazy that Time's call in 1991 and 2006 are both in a freefall.

[MU82]

Fox News averaged 1.42 million viewers in primetime, a 37% drop from the same month a year ago. MSNBC averaged 1.16 million viewers, an increase of 14% from May, 2022.

Who'da thunk that a white supremacist's departure would turn Fox News-watching right-wingnuts into MSNBC-lovin' commies?

It was fun skimming that thread, which included a banned chicos changing his screen name (for the bazillionth time), claiming he wasn't chicos (for the bazillionth time), and getting proved a liar (for the bazillionth time) by rocky. Saw plenty of contributions from long-gone Scoopers. Good times.

Anyhoo, it turns out our guy Smuggles (Heisey, Tugg, etc) is darn good at making predictions, except about the future.

I still have 5 to 8 more years, ... the NFL's growth rate is zero

Thanks for this ... feel better about this now

I still have 5 to 8 more years, ... the NFL's growth rate is zero

https://www.statista.com/statistics/289979/nfl-number-of-tv-viewers-usa/

The average viewership for a national NFL broadcast last season was 16.7 million.
The average viewership for a national NBA broadcast was 1.6 million.
The average viewership for a national MLB broadcast (on Fox) was 2.1 million.

The NFL isn't losing 85% of its viewers in the next five to eight years.

Tucker on Twitter debuted four hours ago.

https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1666203439146172419?s=20

It already has 25+ million views.  His May 9 video saying he was coming to Twitter has 133 million views.

For comparison, his Fox show peaked at around 4 million viewers, and the Superbowl has about 130 million viewers.

The best thing to happen to Tucker is getting fired. Not only did that bury an entire industry (cable news), but his reach is now multiple what it was. He has never had more influence. And his $25 million/year income is now believed to be in the $100 million/year range.

All hail the soon-to-be billionaire king-maker.

So ... who among the circle-jerk crowd will take their hand out of the pants to the left, wipe off the KY (or maybe not) and attack me personally? Because that is what they do.
