I had to check Imus' ratings for the show because, you know it would have made sense if the show was floundering. </p> <p>Well ... it seems somebody has a spine at MSNBC. </p> <p><a href="http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_tv_tvblog/2007/04/don_imus_on_msn.html" title="reference on The TV Guy" target="_blank">The TV Guy</a> reports that Imus' morning simulcast was doing so well, CNN decided to change it's morning anchor line-up to stopgap the ratings blood-bath.</p> <p>I am still cynical about this whole fiasco, but I'm going to applaud this move by the cable broadcaster. It seems they not only listened to the public uproar but actually follow the advice of key employees in the company. I don't know if Al Roker was one of those employees, but I love what he publish in his post, "Not in my house" : </p><!-- google_ad_section_end --> <div class="service-links"><div class="service-label">Bookmark/Search this post with: </div><a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://hollywoodistas.com/liza/blog/high_ratings_or_not_don_imus_gets_kicked_off_msnbc&amp;title=High+ratings+or+not%2C+Don+Imus+gets+kicked+off+MSNBC" title="Bookmark this post on del.icio.us." rel="nofollow"><img src="/modules/service_links/delicious.png" alt="delicious" /></a> | <a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&amp;url=http://hollywoodistas.com/liza/blog/high_ratings_or_not_don_imus_gets_kicked_off_msnbc" title="Digg this post on digg.com." rel="nofollow"><img src="/modules/service_links/digg.png" alt="digg" /></a> | <a href="http://reddit.com/submit?url=http://hollywoodistas.com/liza/blog/high_ratings_or_not_don_imus_gets_kicked_off_msnbc&amp;title=High+ratings+or+not%2C+Don+Imus+gets+kicked+off+MSNBC" title="Submit this post on reddit.com." rel="nofollow"><img src="/modules/service_links/reddit.png" alt="reddit" /></a> | <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/bookmarklet/add?url=http://hollywoodistas.com/liza/blog/high_ratings_or_not_don_imus_gets_kicked_off_msnbc&amp;title=High+ratings+or+not%2C+Don+Imus+gets+kicked+off+MSNBC" title="Submit this post on ma.gnolia.com." rel="nofollow"><img src="/modules/service_links/magnoliacom.png" alt="magnoliacom" /></a> | <a href="http://www.newsvine.com/_tools/seed&amp;save?u=http://hollywoodistas.com/liza/blog/high_ratings_or_not_don_imus_gets_kicked_off_msnbc&amp;h=High+ratings+or+not%2C+Don+Imus+gets+kicked+off+MSNBC" title="Submit this post on newsvine.com." rel="nofollow"><img src="/modules/service_links/newsvine.png" alt="newsvine" /></a> | <a href="http://www.furl.net/storeIt.jsp?u=http://hollywoodistas.com/liza/blog/high_ratings_or_not_don_imus_gets_kicked_off_msnbc&amp;t=High+ratings+or+not%2C+Don+Imus+gets+kicked+off+MSNBC" title="Submit this post on furl.net." rel="nofollow"><img src="/modules/service_links/furl.png" alt="furl" /></a> | <a href="http://technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?url=http://hollywoodistas.com/liza/blog/high_ratings_or_not_don_imus_gets_kicked_off_msnbc" title="Search Technorati for links to this post." rel="nofollow"><img src="/modules/service_links/technorati.png" alt="technorati" /></a></div><p><a href="http://hollywoodistas.com/liza/blog/high_ratings_or_not_don_imus_gets_kicked_off_msnbc">read more</a></p> http://hollywoodistas.com/liza/blog/high_ratings_or_not_don_imus_gets_kicked_off_msnbc#comment Cable TV Controversy Mysogyny Racism Al Roker Don Imus MSNBC NBC Thu, 12 Apr 2007 13:27:05 -0400 liza 66 at http://hollywoodistas.com
