ABC’s ratings drop after much-criticized debate - KCICK 'EM IN THE WALLET!
Last week, after ABC News’s much-criticized Democratic debate, Washington Post TV critic Tom Shales declared that “the clear loser is ABC.” The ratings for last week’s evening newscasts are now in, and it appears that Shales was correct: “NBC beat ABC by over 600,000 viewers last week — an unusually wide margin for the dueling newscasts.” Huffington Post’s Rachel Sklar notes that “one reason for that wider-than-usual gap” is that “on Friday, NBC beat ABC by 1.1 million viewers — a practically unheard of margin for an otherwise random Friday night.” Here are the numbers:



This is our power folks. When their numbers go down their ad dollars go down. This how we do it. NO MORE ABC NETWORK AT MY HOME.

6. I haven't watched ABC in a long while...
'cept for that stooopid debate!

I wish we could phase out Disney...and Nick too... I am working on getting my kids off the TV for a good long while. If I can wean myself off the news, they can do the same with their cartoons and crap, too.

8. I'd watch Katie Couric before I'd watch a Disney newscast
ABC isn't even a serious contender. George Snuffleupagus and Fox Boy cemented the deal for me. ABC just doesn't even register on the Serious-O-Meter.
