Cable news' ratings will rise from that. 1 hour ago, Newsjunkie24 said: I'm sure it's going to be on all channels every single day if it happens, just like O.J.'s trial. I'll bet the Trump trial ratings will make the OJ trial look like it aired on NBC in the Fred Silverman era... or (to tie to this thread) the Jeff Zucker era. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tyrannical bastard 2,058 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 WHEN it happens, it will be must-see-TV. To see him go down in flames 24/7 on the way he pushed his way into our heads would be the single most gratifying thing ever. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jrogo 26 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 “I think a lot of people will be devastated if he does leave the network, and are concerned that you won’t be able to find someone with his leadership style to fill that role.” Exactly what style of "leadership" does he provide? Outside of NYC what employees will be sad to see him go? If CNN returns to news after the mess he's created, that will be a welcomed change. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be embarrassed to work under a guy like him. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sendir 101 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I am not a fan of Jeff Zucker but everyone in this group is talking about CNN’s demise post trump. Between Nov. 4 and Sunday, CNN has averaged 1.73 million viewers, more than double a year ago, Nielsen said. Fox News Channel had 1.56 million and MSNBC had 1.53 million. It's the first time since December 2001, the newsy period after the Sept. 11 terrorist attack, that CNN has beaten Fox News in this measurement for as long as a month, Nielsen added. Among the broadcast networks, NBC led last with a primetime average of 6 million viewers. to be fair to Jeff... this is under his watch. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Talked about this on the Discord, and I'll share it here. Nexstar could launch an airport network consisting of NewsNation content (live broadcasts, highlights from the show, national travel forecasts, NewsNation Now, and the soon-to-be-launched Banfield) and local content (live newscasts, local forecasts, and other local programming) from the Nexstar station in the airport's DMA.

One problem... I live in a market where Nexstar doesn't exist so MIA, FTL and even PBI (Palm Beach) will have nothing. In fact, the closest airport that could see something like this is TPA (Tampa Bay). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CNN is shutting down its airport network because people don't pay attention to it. Many airports offer free Wi-Fi now so travelers are watching what they want on their devices. I imagine the days of an airport news network like that are over. People have other entertainment options that they didn't have before, and the idea of such is a network seems obsolete now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
