RUSH: As a fellow broadcaster, I probably shouldn\u2019t say this, but that just means I will say it. I have to note and call attention to something. Oprah — and I will leave it to others to answer this, even though I have the answer. Oprah had, we were told, the highest-rated daytime television talk show ever, for a long time while until it leveled off and like all shows eventually (except this one) started to bleed a little audience. <\/p>\n
The point is, my question is, how do you put something on over-the-air syndication television for however many years she did it — with just over-the-top, incomparable, nobody-even-close ratings — and then a year after she\u2019s gone put her back on the air and nobody watches. How does that happen? What does that maybe mean about the over-the-air television show\u2019s ratings? Just asking. Juuust asking. But anyway, that\u2019s just a sidebar question, a think piece. I\u2019m not… (interruption) What, the Labor Department running Oprah\u2019s rating numbers? Well, you said it. I\u2019m just throwing it out there. How does this happen? We know it does, but how do you go from a stand-alone number one, nobody even close to just a year later nobody caring that you\u2019re back on the air? Now, in my case… Well, no, I shouldn\u2019t — I shouldn\u2019t — I shouldn\u2019t — I shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
I just I find it… If Oprah was that popular, why didn\u2019t her audience follow her wherever she went and find her? And it wasn\u2019t hard. I mean, all the PR in the world told us every week where Oprah was gonna be: O Magazine, O Network, O on her own show, O doing the executive, O doing a movie, O this. Take her off the daytime syndication show, and the audience doesn\u2019t care anymore?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
