CNBC Viewership Plunges 50% In October

If anyone wants to know why CNBC anchors are so pale and nervous these days, look no further. As Comcast CEO Brian Roberts considers what to keep and what to, well, cut, post his digestion of NBC Universal (assuming deal rumors are true naturally) his eyes likely cast casual nervous glances at Nielsen reports of CNBC viewership. Yet his nervousness is quite minor compared to what actual employees must be feeling after Nielsen reported a 50% plunge in CNBC viewership in October year over year. Specifically, CNBC has experienced a massive 52% decline in overall viewers during business day hours (5 am - 7 pm), and a not much better 49% drop in its demo (25-54) in the month of October as compared to last year. Specific shows that are likely to follow the fate of Dennis Kneale's recently cancelled 8pm gobbledygook are likely the Kudlow Report and Mad Money, which are down 59% and 56%, respectively.

Scientists Blame God

Explosions, scientists arrested for alleged terrorism, mysterious breakdowns — recently Cern’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has begun to look like the world’s most ill-fated experiment.

Is it really nothing more than bad luck or is there something weirder at work? Such speculation generally belongs to the lunatic fringe, but serious scientists have begun to suggest that the frequency of Cern’s accidents and problems is far more than a coincidence.

The LHC, they suggest, may be sabotaging itself from the future — twisting time to generate a series of scientific setbacks that will prevent the machine fulfilling its destiny.

What does that mean? According to Nielsen, it means that the creation of the boson at some point in the future would then ripple backwards through time to put a stop to whatever it was that had created it in the first place.

“It is based on mathematics, but you could explain it by saying that God rather hates Higgs particles and attempts to avoid them.”

Rupert Murdoch out of touch?

While Rupert Murdoch is strutting around the world stage reading the riot act to anyone who threatens the profits of his giant properties, he has no idea how irrelevant and out of touch he appears.

More confirmation today, with online measurement company Nielsen, reporting that online news sites aspiring to charge end-users for news will probably not succeed. Now Murdoch is already working on ways to lock up his online content.

But according to Nielsen the lack of loyalty among Australian consumers to any one news provider, will mean any site that does this could become very niche and eventually irrelevant.

The second plank of Murdoch's new strategy has been to charge aggregators for re-purposed content.

But again Nielsen says the horse has bolted. This approach ignores citizen journalists who uses blogs and other consumer-generated media and which has de-centralised the flow of information away from the traditional media empires.

God Sabotaged The LHC, Say Scientists

clipper's remarks: Neilsen added: “It must be our prediction that all Higgs producing machines shall have bad luck. [God] rather hates Higgs particles, and attempts to avoid them.”

What an odd twist of events in the hunt for the illusive Boson! *LOL* I've seen several lectures by Holger Bech Nielsen and the man has a BRILLIANT mind, there's no doubt about that, although you would be excused, if your first impression of him was, that he was mentally challenged. He's a genius bordering insanity kind of fellow. Anyway, when I first read this article, I thought he must be kidding and making a joke, but that he'd actually write a paper on this theory, makes me think he's deadly serious. Stay tuned, people. Reality is so much weirder than fiction. .

A couple of scientists reckon that God or time travellers broke the Large Hadron Collider. The duo, who are, remarkably, still walking the streets, have published a paper claiming that the world’s largest particle accelerator, which failed a week after being switched on last September could have been broken by divine intervention or time agents from the future.

Holger Bech Nielsen of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen and Masao Ninomiya from the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics in Kyoto, say in their paper The Search for Effect of Influence from Future in Large Hadron Collider that “the hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the collider, might be so abhorrent to nature that its creation would ripple backward through time and stop the collider before it could make one, like a time traveller who goes back in time to kill his grandfather”.

God may have shut down the LHC to keep it from discovering the elusive Higg’s Boson, or ‘God particle’.

The Nielsen Company issued a report today on the top U.S. web brands and Internet usage in the U.S. As expected, Google is the #1 web brand based on unique audience.

For the larger web brands, users spend an average of 1 hour 53 minutes a month on Google (), 3 hours 8 minutes on Yahoo and 5 hours 24 minutes on Facebook (). The usage study compliments another Nielsen report issued yesterday that reported a 25% increase in online video viewing year-over-year.

Are kids under 13 watching YouTube?

clipper's remarks: You bet they are, and by a wide margin over the leading childrens content providers. So should YouTube do more to protect kids? Perhaps. But as this article suggests, there are many positives as well. For me, its come down to diligently monitoring my kids web time and placing the computer in our kitchen; its provided both web safety teaching moments as well as some great family bonding.

according to Nielsen VideoCensus, more children under 13 watched videos in August on YouTube than on Disney.com, Nick.com and Cartoon Network combined. There is also no shortage of children’s content on YouTube

Parents and teachers are discovering YouTube’s potential for exposing children to new ideas. Children can learn how to carve a pumpkin or improve their sketching skills. But it can just as easily expose them to videos of births, surgeries, corpses and executions — all things conscientious parents might prefer their children discover at a later age.

Once she was finished with college, she became incredibly concerned about economic inequalities, as you said, joined the Socialist Party, affiliated with the IWW, became a suffragist on behalf of women’s suffrage.

She went to Radcliffe, which was the female counterpart of Harvard at the time. And some of her professors—she also made friends with a man named John Macy, who became the husband of her teacher.

Will Letterman's female viewers stop watching after his sex-with-staffers admission?

David Letterman should probably care what women think about him — and not just his wife.

"It's very interesting. Men and women think very differently about this story," NBC News anchor Ann Curry said. "The men I've talked to think, 'How could a person within your own company kind of betray you like this?' But the reaction I'm hearing from women is completely on the other end. They're saying, 'How could you have affairs, multiple affairs, with members of your own staff

and how does that create a fair and equal working environment?'"

Many women who work in television, and probably most other industries, can recall feeling pressured to do something with a man she works for, said Curry's colleague, Kathie Lee Gifford.

Letterman's prickly personality and sarcastic humor seem tailor-made for a young, male audience. But the facts tell a different story: Letterman's typical audience was 58 percent female last season, with an average age of just under 55, according to the Nielsen Co.

This article looks at a coming (some might say already present) wave of reviews that will be powered by social media like twitter and facebook. Long gone will be the traditional advertising tricks. Yeah! Read on and rise up you social media, reviewing revolutionaries...

"Recommendations by personal acquaintances and opinions posted by consumers online are the most trusted forms of advertising globally. The Nielsen survey shows that 90% of online consumers worldwide trust recommendations from people they know, while 70% trust consumer opinions posted online."

While hundreds of millions of consumer reviews are already zipping around cyberspace, prepare for a deluge of truly biblical proportions.

emerging markets are eager to jump into cyberspace with two thumbs: according to a UN report, there are now more than four billion mobile phone subscriptions worldwide

the proliferation of videocam phones, including Apple's new iPhone 3G S which includes video functionality, geo tagging, and direct upload facilities for YouTube and Mobile, will be yet another push for video-reviews to take off.

Jay Leno's ratings drop notably for second episode

Jay Leno's ratings drop notably for second episode

Everybody expects Jay Leno's new primetime comedy show to drop significantly this week following its highly rated premiere.

The question is how fast, how far.

For its second episode, "The Jay Leno Show" drew a metered-market household rating of 8.0 and 13 share -- down 34% from his Monday debut.

The percentage will likely change as more detailed Nielsen data becomes available, but right now it's slightly more pronounced than the second night of Conan O'Brien hosting "The Tonight Show" last June, which fell 30%.

The episode featured an interview with Michael Moore in the studio, along with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz via satellite. Critics gave Leno props for his lively interviews (including asking Cruise if he's ever been to a strip club), but one opined that the second half of Leno's show was dominated by "excruciating" comedy bits.

Oprah is still the queen of daytime, despite waning viewership

Winfrey is still the queen of daytime television, but the aura of invincibility is gone. The average viewership for "The Oprah Winfrey Show" slipped under 7 million last season, down 7 percent from the year before, according to Nielsen Media Research. One week during the July rerun season, the show had its lowest ratings since its 1985 debut.

Yet Winfrey has also alienated some of her audience, particularly in more conservative parts of the country, said Janice Peck, author of the book "Age of Oprah" and a University of Colorado professor.

By endorsing Barack Obama and campaigning for him, she shucked her apolitical image. Winfrey's book club selection of Eckhart Tolle's New Age religion book "A New Earth" angered some conservative Christians -- even though Winfrey's producer said Winfrey was careful not to push Tolle's views on viewers through the television show.
