TV Ratings/Prime Time Lineups

The reason why I originally put in the section of Ratings and Prime Time lineups was to compare the "big 3" news networks. Thoughts? --Mapple001 (talk) 00:50, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

If you're going to include the financial and sports channels you should put their schedules too. Ratings should have a separate section.TomCat4680 (talk) 19:54, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

TV Ratings Chart

Can someone please put the chart below in the "ratings" section of the big 3.

Thanks. --Mapple001 (talk) 02:21, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure how. Ask on Wikicommons.TomCat4680 (talk) 02:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

MSNBC's Third Prime-Time Show Search

I need some help with my new article. Thanks.--Mapple001 (talk) 16:38, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

I think it would get more attention if it was simply a subsection of the main MSNBC article. See content fork for more information. TomCat4680 (talk) 05:27, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

I proposed a merger, go to Talk:MSNBC#Merger to discuss. TomCat4680 (talk) 05:40, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Description of "Big 3" News organizations.

CNN's brief description is extremely laudatory and basically runs through history and achievements of the network. FoxNews's description is a scathing hit job on the network which only points out flaws and controversies, completely ignoring the fact that it is a Ratings giant. MSNBC's description stresses the point that even though they have some conservatives, they all unite under the precipice that is Bush bashing. In order to maintain neutrality, which I thought Wikipedia stood for. These descriptions should be rewritten. Excluding the CNN one, it's fine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jknowles1 (talk • contribs) 19:49, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Current TV

Just removed Current TV from the article.. does it belong here? I don't think so.--Xxhopingtearsxx (talk) 18:54, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Location of Big three

Not a big deal really, but wouldn't it make sense to move Fox News above CNN, considering how many more views they get? If there is some local consensus for CNN to be top I'm not here to fight it, just wondering.

It is Wikipedia

We all know that Wikipedia is left wing, and all articles are edited as such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:4C1:C000:686B:25B0:5B86:89C7:8EC1 (talk) 02:03, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Should this article be renamed?

I think this article should be renamed to reflect the actual distribution of these channels. Since cable television is not the only way these networks are being received (the other forms of watching them is via satellite, IPTV or even OTT platforms such as mobile apps), the best solution is to adequate the article to a proper title, like U.S. subscription-based news channels. --Bankster (talk) 01:47, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Bias bias

I notice that the section on MSNBC goes into considerable detail about allegations of "liberal bias". By contrast, the section on Fox merely advances the claims, made by the network itself, that it is reliable and neutral. This is not even-handed treatment, and it should not be acceptable. (I know little about US news networks---beyond the fact that Fox is accused of bias just as much as MSNBC---so I have no intention of editing this page myself.)

Former President Trump

My husband and I ❤️ love all the Wonderful Programming and Fantastic Hosts on your Channel. It is interesting to me, and it may be my cellphone, but stories about President Trump are not coming through when I see them mentioned and then try to open them the story disappears. I will have to check further into this concern. Once again thank you for all you do for all your viewers ❤️. 2600:6C67:8E00:4A18:9D51:3B49:2007:F0C0 (talk) 02:05, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
