Information matters more and viewers can<br />walk away with something from the show. Interviews<br />are short,sweet and to the point. Evening Express<br />is the standout show on cable news. The show rocks<br />and has a good vibe. Ryan Smith, Isha Sesay & Clark<br />Howard are a good team. In reality, Evening Express<br />does not fit in with CNN programming. The baby <br />Rayn story showed up on NBC's website 2 days<br />later. Take a look at the new set for Now With<br />Alex Wagner. It looks just like the set on Evening<br />Express. I went back and read the press release<br />on the show. It turns out 2 woman are in charge<br />of the show. That explains the tone and vibe.<br />The show appears to be the women's show <br />mentioned here so many times but not all<br />women hosts or music. Too bad the show is<br />not repeated later on HLN or CNN. It might not<br />be a bad idea for 360 to add Ryan Smith when<br />it comes to legal discussions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-2553249745286870622012-06-21T08:22:10.136-04:002012-06-21T08:22:10.136-04:00After watching Rachel Maddow last night,
I now kn...After watching Rachel Maddow last night, <br />I now know why CNN's ratings are falling.<br />The network is now a part of right wing<br />media that 95 % percent of American don't<br />listen to, so when they hear non facts on<br />CNN they know it. 360 completely missed<br />the boat on the contempt vote. It had zero<br />to with Fast & Furious. During hearings the<br />GOP congressmen are on record saying the<br />Obama administration let it happen to limit<br />gun rights. The truth is the program begin<br />under the Bush administration and Holder<br />actually stopped it. CNN relies on right wing<br />media for information but it's not based on<br />facts. CNN tries to legitimize the conspiracy<br />theories in right wing media. CNN is easily<br />fooled because they absorb right wing media<br />all day long. The people at CNN think it's news<br />but 95 % of Americans know better. So all CNN is<br />doing is making news for FOX viewers who will<br />never watch CNN. How do you write off 95 % of<br />Americans who want fact based news. We are<br />left wondering what happened to CNN because<br />we sure can't find the channel that used to do<br />real news and always had people on who knew<br />their stuff and offered legit information. Not<br />crazy conspiracy theories and comments that<br />defy logic. CNN doesn't make any sense. CNN<br />basically became ignorant so we seek other<br />news alternatives for real news and information.<br />CNN will rot your brain and make you an idiot.<br />Not without my consent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-80170465921259861362012-06-20T22:03:41.635-04:002012-06-20T22:03:41.635-04:00No McCain thank goodness.

I remember once when AC fact checked Paul Begala ON AIR while Paul was on the show, but I'm sure he'd never do that to Ari, but thankfully Ali did.<br /><br />Just saw that 360 is bringing on John McCain for more unchecked Obama bashing on Syria and the White House leaks. Most news programs have stopped talking about the leaks, but leave it to AC to not let go of a chance to denigrate the President.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-24443012225802743812012-06-20T12:54:51.238-04:002012-06-20T12:54:51.238-04:00360 continues to insult the intelligence of viewer...360 continues to insult the intelligence of viewers.<br />Last night 360 had on Ali Velshi, John King, Paul<br />Begula and Ari Fleischer on to talk about G-20<br />and the Eurozone.

CNN needs some energy/ better lead<br />in to 360. Surprisingly the trio has chemistry.<br />HLN is a crime channel so viewers might think HLN<br />is trying to make crime into news stories rather than<br />having a legit news show like they did with Erica Hill<br />years ago. The show would get higher ratings on CNN.<br />I watch Evening Express on the DVR. On FB they are<br />gaining hundreds of followers this week.

E...Evening Express could spell big trouble for CNN.<br />Express is getting less than 200,000 viewers but<br />the show is either close or topping CNN in the <br />demo at 5 & 6 PM. Don't think CNN wants that.<br />On Monday, Express had 116,000/39,000 while<br />TSR had 427,000/59,000. That is only a 20,000<br />difference. Wolf had like 3.5 X their number of<br />viewers. That is according to TVN. What's scarier<br />is how it is stacking up against CNN at 6 PM. It<br />tops or is extremely close to CNN. With audience<br />numbers being that low for Express, it means the<br />show is finding it's own viewers and not presently<br />taking viewers from CNN. Is it possible that the<br />show is bringing in non-traditional news viewers<br />to HLN ? Keep an eye on this. It will be interesting<br />to see how this plays out for the next 6 months.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-82630371241915770732012-06-19T13:10:58.040-04:002012-06-19T13:10:58.040-04:00Personally, I am not impressed with FNC or MSNBC.

That is not why viewers come to CNN.<br />I like the international hour with Suzanne Malveaux.<br />Why can't be extending to 120 minutes of news from<br />around the globe. Diverse programming is what CNN<br />needs more than anything else. MSNBC is not really<br />doing anything that is great. CNN is just terrible. All<br />3 are losing viewers.

...Evening Express can just add Betty Nguyen. Monday<br />on Evening Express the Do Good story was about<br />having a banana split with your kids for dinner to<br />pay tribute to a 21 month old baby who has downs<br />syndrome and a heart condition. Unfortunately, he<br />does not have long to live, so his parents created a<br />Bucket List for Baby Ryan Roberts. This is becoming<br />one of my favorite shows. Ryan Smith, Isha Sesay,<br />Betty Nguyen & Clark Howard sounds good. Last<br />week Isha was off a couple of days because of her<br />wisdom teeth. Evening Express needs 1 more newsie in the bunch. 2 men/ 2 women.<br /><br />Ryan & Clark are good but what if there is a big<br />major breaking news story. CNN has never put<br />this much into an HLN show. You can see the<br />show coming together. I have yet to see a single<br />article on Evening Express since the show aired.<br />Granted it is only in week 3 and launching during<br />the Summer but come on media writers. A cable<br />news show dares to be different and gets no press.<br />That shows how biased the media writers are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-90372293674665999982012-06-19T10:09:15.220-04:002012-06-19T10:09:15.220-04:00CNN has too much taped programming on weekends.

replac...CNN should hire George Stroumboulopoulos to<br />replace Piers Morgan. PMT ratings are lower than<br />Larry King so CNN can no longer defend that move.<br />It is long past time for Piers Morgan to go.<br /><br /><br />Out Front needs to be replaced by a women's news<br />show featuring Isha Sesay, Betty Nguyen, Nicole<br />Lapin and a female from Univision. You can hang<br />out with your girls and get some news. Just have<br />the soundtrack all show long with songs that relate<br />to women. Evening Express has a lot of news content and information. The show is too good for<br />HLN. After the election move the show to CNN.<br />Ryan Smith and Clark Howard would be involved <br />in segments as well. It would air from 6-8 PM<br />and keep the name Evening Express. Sort of like<br />a news magazine show on CNN. No politics.GMA<br />finds a way to make 5 or more people work. So<br />now EE would have Ryan Smirh, Clark Howard,<br />Isha Sesay, Betty Nguyen, Ncole Lapin and a hire<br />from Univision. No pundits just like EE on HLN.<br /><br />This show would be a better lead in for 360 and<br />likely draw higher ratings than Erin Burnett. CNN<br />will strongly back 360 & TSR. Look for format<br />changes to both shows. KTH was not mentioned<br />last night on 360 but the CJR article is right about<br />360 having 2 pundits dumb down a discussion.<br />360 and TSR needs to be smarter. Both shows <br />need to ditch the only political partisans can be<br />guests on CNN. Book guests that matter. Other<br />journalists, authors, filmmakers and others but<br />make it a goal to do more segments without the<br />has been pundits.<br /><br />It looks like MSNBC might be struggling between<br />the hours of Noon- 5 PM. Hardball's ratings are<br />trending down. Just last week TV By The Numbers<br />posted that Alex Wagner scratched last Monday<br />with only 36,000 in the demo. Suzanne Maleaux<br />wins her 2 hours, so it is a smart move to add<br />international news. TBTN doesn't post noon<br />ratings so that was unusual. Could it be they<br />are noticing a trend ? <br /><br />Finally, hire Aisha Tyler to do a Daily Show type<br />news show at 11 PM on CNN. <br /><br />So this would be the dream lineup for CNN <br />by September 2012 :<br /><br />TSR is on from 4-6 PM. Bring back the 2 internet<br />reporters. Jack Cafferty is too dull.<br /><br />Evening Express now airs on CNN from 6-8 PM.<br />Perfect name for that timeslot. Ryan, Isha &<br />Clark are now joined by Betty Nguyen, Nicole<br />Lapin and a Univision hire.<br /><br />360, a much better format and much need<br />changes airs at 8 PM<br /><br />George Sroumboulopoulos comes to CNN at 9 PM<br /><br />360 at 10 PM is now called the 360 Remix. It is<br />re-edited with music on the bumps and some<br />different segments from the 8 PM show.<br /><br />Aisha Tyler comes to CNN at 11 PM.<br /><br />Cable news has to adapt and modernize. News<br />will always be the strength of CNN but the shows<br />don't have to all sound and look alike. If there<br />is breaking news you will have Anderson Cooper,<br />Isha Sesay, Betty Nguyen and Nicole Lapin. Any<br />changes CNN makes will have to be tangible.<br />Viewers must be able to see that CNN is working<br />to change things at the network but it could be<br />to late. How do you get back all of the viewers <br />that CNN lost. CNN must concentrate on content,<br />story-telling, original reporting, conversational<br />writing and segments, look at the camera to<br />talk with viewers not at them. Get away from<br />opinions. That is not news or information.<br />Presentation, delivery, camera moves, brand<br />new graphics and transtitinos.Mashing Up the<br />news story with relevant info is priceless. Drop<br />the crawl and go with real time news updates<br />that appear on screen all day long. Form 2-6<br />AM CNN should go with a CNN.dot.com format<br />featuring video from the website and good <br />content that might have occurred on CNN all<br />day long.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-26197475919510168652012-06-19T01:28:25.394-04:002012-06-19T01:28:25.394-04:00360 did the same thing Monday night.

Management made the<br />dumb decision to hire all of the pundits at CNN<br />so they have to use them or they are wasting <br />money. But is it worth destroying 360 trying <br />to save Out Front and PMT ? Boring down 360<br />is another bad decision by CNN.
