Yup.......And the Dumb Bastards ***STILL*** want to Blame It on the
Writer's Strike........Donchaknow.........
"TV viewer****p still down in wake of 100-day writers strike
May 11, 12:47 PM EDT
NEW YORK (AP) -- Television heads into its biggest week with the
hangover from a 100-day writers strike persisting.
Viewer****p is down, although it's hard to tell how much the strike is
to blame. This week's "upfront" presentations by broadcasters
outlining their fall schedules, which annually precedes a multibillion
dollar ad buying binge, promises to be much different than before.
"The strike had a number of impacts," said Alan Wurtzel, NBC Universal
research chief, "but as with everything it's never very clear or
direct or black and white."
ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC had nearly 9 percent fewer viewers in April and
May so far than during the same period a year ago, according to
Nielsen Media Research."
