    I think Olbermann’s infatuation with BOR and FNC in general has helped his own ratings. His live show numbers in both the demo and total viewers have consistently been beating Anderson’s numbers, but then so has Grace.

    Shep and Bret have great numbers again! They certainly deserve it!

  • wiseguy

    I wouldn’t say Shep’s numbers are good. He loses what is handed to him by Bret (who loses a ton of Becks freebies as well). Looks like a lot of Shep’s numbers are lost to Dobbs who is not doing that badly when you consider the network he is on.

    actually, libra, i would have to say olbermann’s infatuation is more with glenn beck… he has been more of a punching bag lately than bill for countdown. i dont know if it has exactly helped his ratings, though.

    olbermann’s numbers are like a roller coaster these days… all over the place. im assuming as soon as healthcare reform comes to a close and passes and obama sends the troops into afghanistan, all the numbers, in general, will remain high but consistent.

    @wiseguy, Shep is easily winning his time spot and his numbers are better than anything on CNN and MSNBC. Anderson is losing the big lead in numbers Larry King gives him every night even tho CNN keeps pumping money into 360 and pimping Anderson’s image all over the place.

    @Facebook User, Yes, I have noticed that Olbermann’s “attention” has shifted to Glenn. I guess he is going to go after whoever has the biggest numbers. It has helped KO’s ratings to the extent that he is consistently beating Anderson’s live numbers night after night and he isn’t even good looking!
