Tucker

People boycotting Fox, because they fired a person for blatantly being a racist, and being excited about a person getting beaten.

Says a lot about those people.

Man, the superbar circle jerk running full speed.

Don't hurt yourself boys.

It certainly does.  But I guess we're in a circle jerk for pointing it out.

[Pakuni]

This is already wrong.

Fox lost 1% of its value that week after the Dominion settlement. It lost 6% the week after Tucker was fired, and 3% the day he was fired.

The stock market says Tucker was 6x more important than Dominion.

Good God. You consider yourself wise on markets and investing but trot this out?
Embarrassed for you.

You answered your own question. "You consider yourself wise".

He was rooting for the kid to be murdered. That is way, way different than being excited about a person being beat up.

My God. You sound like you could be Tucker's publicist.

Jockey, I simply put that phrasing in because I couldn't remember his exact words and in my opinion that was bad enough. Was not remotely trying to lessen anything. What Tucker said is shockingly bad.

We are 100% aligned on this topic.

Tucker Carlson is out at 8 p.m. on Fox News Channel, and the network hopes that a host of blue-chip advertisers that for years avoided his controversial hour will soon come back in.

Since Carlson's stunning exit last month, a timeslot that has been shunned by many Madison Avenue stalwarts seems as if it is being embraced. Procter & Gamble, one of the nation's largest and most influential advertisers, has been running ads in "Fox News Tonight," the network's new 8 p.m. program, for female-skewing products like Venus razor blades by Gillette and Secret underarm deodorant. Also showing up in commercial breaks: Novo Nordisk's trendy medication Ozempic, and Scotts Miracle-Gro.

No prob. My reply was partly tongue-in-cheek because it was unlike you.

Are you really so insecure you need Gilette, P&G and big Pharma ads to vaidiate your moral superority?

Wow, you're easily triggered by a few facts.

Someone misses Tuckems. Even though they never watched him. Wink. Wink.

So how much are the new advertisers paying FOX for the 8PM ads? The article does not say.

[MU82]

Well, a jury just said Carlson was right about the guy he called "a demonic force."

[Pakuni]

I'd imagine Fox isn't going to be sharing that info, but from the story ...

For years, Carlson's "Tucker Carlson Tonight" has largely been supported by so-called "direct response" advertisers, which typically pay a lower price in exchange for allowing the network to place their commercials on an as-needed basis. The top advertisers in the show in the past few years, according to audience-measurement firm iSpot.TV, have been Fox News Channel itself, via promos for its programs and its Fox Nation streaming service; MyPillow, the bedding product from conservative entrepreneur Mike Lindell; and Balance of Nature, a maker of nutritional supplements.

I'm not an expert on advertising rates, but I would imagine having more potential advertisers (especially those with large budgets like P&G) vying for air time is probably a good thing for the network.

Did this article come out before or after Ozempic stopped buying ad space

Oh, I cannot get the Ozempic jingle out of my head now

Unsaid in this article is that direct response advertisers are generally slotted to air during programming or time periods that the network is unable to sell to more desirable advertisers who are willing to pay more for a fixed position spot.  In other words, the show was being supported by companies who don't care where their ads run (they just want them to be as cheap as possible) because those who do care about where their ads run wouldn't buy time in his show.

Tucker Carlson Says He's Launching a New Show on Twitter
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-05-09/tucker-carlson-says-he-s-launching-a-new-show-on-twitter

On Tuesday, Carlson posted a three-minute video on Twitter, lamenting the decline of free speech and saying he would bring a "new version" of the show he'd done on Fox to Twitter "starting soon."

-----------

Cable news is irrelevant. It is all unwatchable garbage.

And now Tucker will have a much bigger voice than ever before.

And no matter how many boner pills start advertising on Fox News again, to the delight and validation of Pakuni, Fox has peaked (they are currently 3rd the cable news rating, after being first for a decade until the day they fired Tucker). Fox is not going away. Instead, Fox is sinking into background noise that means little to nothing.

Meanwhile Tucker will elect the next President ... which he was unable to do being on Fox at 8PM ET.

You're saying, America will elect the next president based on the words of a known racist, misogynist and proven liar?  Not good news for the republic.

He's going to be bigger than Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck for sure.  Going to be something watching boomers navigate Twitter.

I'm also surprised you give him that much credit since you never watched him because he was part of the unwatchable garbage on cable news.  Quite the pretzel of logic you've twisted

I specifically did not say who he would elect. He could elect the other side.

Is there no subject you aren't eager to be wrong about in the most humiliating way possible?

It wasn't a walk in the park, but Fox News remained the most-watched cable news network for the 116th consecutive week, averaging 1.46 million total primetime viewers (No. 3 among all basic cable networks) and 1.12 million total day viewers (No. 1 among all basic cable network) for the week of May 1.

Sure. Tucker's geriatric viewers are definitely going to figure out Twitter.
