Dennis Miller Canceled Rplaced with Biz Show Rerun

Anchor Cosby off Fox News
'Big Story' host's departure is immediate

By MICHAEL LEARMONTH


NEW YORK -- Fox News Channel will not renew a contract with weekend host Rita Cosby, as the two sides couldn't come to an agreement on an extension, the network said.
Cosby hosted "The Big Story Weekend Edition With Rita Cosby" at 9 p.m. Saturday. On Sunday at 6 p.m. she hosted "Fox News Live With Rita Cosby."

Cosby will leave the network immediately. No replacement host has been appointed, nor has a decision been made on the future of the shows, Fox News said.

You read it however you want.

This is hilarious.

With all respect Timber, Chrissee is right-on this issue, you can't admit you're wrong.

The story is that Miller's show got cancelled-call it firing, whatever. He got cancelled, he didn't quit.

This might have some political significance since Miller has lately worked himself over to the conservative side and strong support for Bush on Iraq.

So at first you try to spin it that Miller left voluntarily because the network was having difficulties. When that didn't work, you tried to say the real story is that Fox News was doing so well against CNBC. When that didn't work, you said Rita Crosby's leaving Fox over a contract dispute is more important than Miller's cancellation anyway.

You're a card, Timber. Anything to keep from focusing on the one thing the thread is about-Miller got the boot.

Dennis Miller Says So Long to CNBC


By John Higgins -- Broadcasting & Cable, 5/11/2005 5:25:00 PM


CNBC doesn't have to cancel its low-rated prime time shows these days, because the hosts decide to leave first. Dennis Miller, host of Dennis Miller, became the latest one to do so, exiting the weekday talk show. The final episode airs Friday. Miller has been on the network since January 2004, but the audience never got very large, averaging just 100,000 total viewers last week. Miller's exit follows that of Tina Brown, who is ending her weekly show, Topic A with Tina Brown, which got even weaker ratings. In a memo to employees, CNBC President Mark Hoffman says he bumped Miller out of its slot, planning to rerun Mad Money with Jim Cramer in Miller's 9 p.m. ET time slot.

I really get a kick outta the "win or lose" types that insist they've "won" as a tactic to close a discussion - and then get all wadded up when the discussion doesn't obediently close.

Jeez, what a tempest in a teapot. His show is ending, and it had poor ratings. Can we agree on that much?

The rest is irrelevant, no?

D'Art, timber would like to make his point. And for the discussion to end at that point.

Oh, but didn't he say on another thread he doesn't care for that sort of behaviour?

Why, yes he did.

There sure is a lot of pot/kettle/black stuff around here lately.

That's it in a nutshell. That some are determined to make more of it is most amusing from my perspective. Irrelevance appears to be the conscious goal of some.
