No nightly ratings reports. CurrenTV and Keith 'Transparency' Olbermann have been unusually secretive about the ratings for the new Countdown. So far we have only been given two sets of figures: ratings in the key 25-54 demo for the first night (179K), and a summary rating of the first week: 131K 25-54 viewers.
Now it's clear that the premiere night viewership was much higher than the overall weekly average proved to be. That means that while it appeared that his debut put him in 29th place compared to the rest of the cable news viewership, going by a week's worth of ratings--a more representative sample--finds the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann did considerably worse than 29th place. In fact, that number places him tied with reruns of Celebrity Apprentice in 40th place!
But that week's worth of numbers also includes the inflated premiere night ratings, an unrepresentative thumb on the scale that does not represent the night-by-night viewership of the program. So another way to look at the numbers is to exclude the opening night outlier. Mathematics tells us that the other four nights (Tuesday-Friday) had to average 119K viewers for the week's overall numbers to be 133K. Well, a 119K nightly viewership is even more of an embarrassment for Edward R Olbermann. Given that kind of meager audience he now finishes in 42nd place, behind every program on FNC (including the 3:00 am Red Eye), behind Joe Scarborough, behind Headline News's morning program...even behind CNN's struggling American Morning.
42nd place! At this rate it won't be long before Squawk Box and Sermonette start out-rating Oralmann. As a first week, it can only be called...disastrous.

Not the Thurber Free Video of the week. But it's a preview of the latest opus from Steven Crowder as Keith Olbermann. With the Lost Months. It will be released next week but this preview has Michelle Malkin finally getting medieval on Keith's @ss.
It's worth watching. And Brietbart makes a cameo too.
Wanna' compare Countdown's opening week on MSNBC with Countdown's opening week on Current while you're at it?
Also, if we put those shows on upper-tier channels, would they still be pulling the same numbers? Doubt it.
I'm sorry Johnny, did you say something? I couldn't hear you over MKDAWUSS' whining.
"Wanna' compare Countdown's opening week on MSNBC with Countdown's opening week on Current while you're at it?"
And what were those numbers? Do you have them? I didn't think so.
Well, none of those people were stupid enough to get thrown out every job they ever had so I guess we'll never know.
Is "Waaaaaa Olbermann isn't on an upper tier channel" your new "meme" Carlos? Olbermann made this bed now he gets to sleep in it. This is what happens when you s*** on everything and everyone in your path. Get over it.
Moving on, I'd like to remind everyone that MKDAWUSS refuses to answer why a man who demands open-endedness from everyone is keeping his ratings a secret. Probably the same reason he ignores everything else.
MKDAWUSS, I think this is the part where you point out your hero's Facebook page. It's true, he's gaining more followers each day but he's still 1,881,420, behind Glenn Beck, which in case you don't watch tv, is no longer on any channel.
Better yet, somebody should just post some garbage Olbermann spewed about Petraeus or Bachmann. That usually gets MKDAWUSS out for the weekend.
My least favorite senator Chuck U. Schumer said that "Medicare cuts aren't on the table".
Great. Does that include the 500 Billion that Obama cut from Medicare to hoist Obama Care on us? Well?
Let's get to work..... Like that bum that steals your magazine from your mailbox... IT'S THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD ABSTRACT!
Bronze: Joe Stagni: for the sin of sending a 'Weiner-esq' picture to a co-worker. Several people lost their job over it, except for Stagni, who Kieth points out.... IS A REPUBLICAN (ding). Keith, I'll give you that Tony the Dick did the right thing, but why won't we let the voters decide on Mr. Stagni's fitness to serve.
BRONZE (Olby meant silver, but said bronze instead) Lou Dobbs of Fox (out of) Business Network: For attacking the dream act and other forms of illegal immigration. Olby does a crappy voice.
GOLD: Beck: Olby takes a victory lap for saying HE took Beck down. Also attacks Glenn for attacking Obama. And Olby makes a 'glenn is a racist' comment (ding). Remember on Olby Planet you can't say anything about our mighty King that doesn't raise his glory.
ANOTHER AWARD WINNING COUNTDOWN TO NO RATINGS!
MKDAWUSS...
I think for the vast majority of us here, we don't care about % of audience compared to number of homes that receive CurrentTV. We care about how many total people hear and believe the filth, insults, and skewed viewpoint of Keith.
The fact that it used to be a million and is now very much less than 200,000 sounds good to me.
Furthermore revenue advertisers will pay to run shows (including Keith's inflated salary) are determined by total number of viewers... not % of possible viewers. Keith needs to get his viewership WAY up if he is going to stick around.
My guess is that if Obama loses in 2012, or if some indefensible scandal occurs before that, Keith will coincidentally use his 10 million $ to purchase an elaborate bathtub, and CurrentTV will not see him for a while.
As I predicted (because this is all about me), His numbers started (supposedly) in the 100-200K range, and will continue to slide towards irrelevancy. Of course, the liberal cause and wealthy donors will continue to pay Olbermann and whoever it is he may hire in the future, but sooner, rather than later, he will almost completely disappear, as it will be impossible to keep Current alive with ratings so low. While this is an increase compared to numbers at Current in the past, there is no doubt that Olbermann pitched his new bosses at Current with the likelihood that millions of viewers would follow him from MSNBC to Current, and spark a new network capable of competing with FNC. Obviously, that hasn't happned yet, nor will will it happen at any point in the future.
Also, keep an eye out for Obama's "Twitter Town Hall" coming up soon. Apparently the President will be tweeting himself, answering questions from the public. I'm sure Olbermann will be on typo patrol. I know I will be, because if we see any "hte"s or "e"s before "i"s, we can certainly verify that Obama is a grade A, genuine moron...
supercents, I believe you're new here so here's the rundown on Carlos "MKDAWUSS" Lejjena:
-If Olbermann says it, does it, think it, etc., MKDAWUSS believes it. If Olbermann hasn't said anything about it yet then MKDAWUSS has no opinion. Unless it's about abortion, which appears to be the only non-liberal view MKDAWUSS has and that somehow makes him an "independent moderate."
-Since most of Olbermann's views revolve around "The Right is wrong" as well as misogyny, blanket racism and hypocrisy, it's very difficult to defend the man. That's why, for example, when Johnny posts Olbermann's thoughts on Gen. Petraeus and outs the alleged rape victims of Julian Assange, MKDAWUSS doesn't have a thing to say.
-MKDAWUSS is under the belief that one man can piss off every single person you come in contact with at four different jobs and none of it is his fault. Which is why MKDAWUSS has to come up with crybaby arguments about how "If the other guys were on cable channels no one could get their ratings would be low too," and has to bring up Olbermann's Facebook friends to show how "popular" he is because the reality is Olbermann is where he is because he is a monumental jackass.
There are a few other things but that's the important stuff. If you're bored go through the archives and you'll see how pathetic this kid is.
"As I predicted (because this is all about me), His numbers started (supposedly) in the 100-200K range, and will continue to slide towards irrelevancy."
I think we have to wait until Monday to see how your prediction pans out, provided the ratings get released.

suoercents, I forgot. MKDAWUSS also dislikes Media Matters.
http://www.olbermannwatch.com/archives/2011/03/oh_joy_its_an_o.php#comments
MKDAWUSS, it's a good thing you agree with us that Media Matters is not a "credible" watchdog group. I'm glad when they eventually take the fall you'll be with the rest of us in celebration.

good analysis... thanks
Sorry, no Thurber Free Video, out living my life. Now heading off to Dialysis, but first.....
Like that lady who lives next door to you who thinks your a racist cause you didn't say 'hi' to her.... IT'S THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD ABSTRACT!
Bronze: Jessica Yellin (CNN): for calling out CNN for saying they take a side and then (according to olby) TAKES THE RIGHT SIDE. Keith, you wouldn't know OBJECTIVE journalism if it slapped you in the face. Then has the gall to bring up CNN ratings? Really Keith.... Really?
Silver: David Prosser: Olby continues his attack on Prosser, keeping up with the 'chocking lie'. The rest of the media is jumping on the lie bandwagon. Keith does make the point that the interview of the Justice was done by a Fox Affiliate. Like that's supposed to mean something? Most Fox stations are liberal. Our Fox station is very liberal. That's how things are in local news, Keith.
GOLD: Lonesome Rhodes Beck (two time gold winner in the new Cd) for the sin of for MISSPELLING? What? Keith? A spelling mistake? Really? REALLY? He misspelled 'mercury'. FOR THAT HE'S THE WORST PERSON IN THE FUCKING WORLD?
Hey Keith, how about this! How about this lady who took a ambian and let her kids (both under two) wander the Louisville streets, both with dirty diapers and haven't had a bath in over a week. And when police told her that he children had run off, she only wanted a cigerette. Why isn't she the WPITW? Maybe cause she votes for Obama? You sicken me Olby.
Ladies (as if there were any here) and Gentlemen. We've just witnessed the first documented case of BDS. Beck Derangement Syndrome. Keiht, gett halp.
I'm outta here.
I would like to have J$ archive this post for night of November 6, 2012.
I will now predict what Obama will say in defeat.
In his concession speech, Obama will say that the American people gave into fear. They denied their future. That they put the rich ahead of the poor. That they betrayed seniors.
It will be the poison pill of his political career.
The answer to the immortal question, if Olby had a newscast on a holiday and nobody watched, did it still happen?
Well, he did, his web staff posted it early.
And now... Like when your creepy neighbor keeps asking you if you want to go to Dollar General store with him.... IT'S THE WPITW ABSCRAT! (of course Keith is working today, commies like him hate America!)
Bronze: Some criminal scum and his scummy sister. It seems the sister is pissed that NY state is calling her brother a 'inmate' in a NY prison. And is sueing NY for $50 million. Never mind he was CONVICTED FOR 1ST DEGREE MURDER!
Silver: Robert Mekendburg who is supporting a common sense law in Ohio to have to present a state issued ID to vote. Of course for this alone, it would make him a WPITW candidate on Olby Planet. But it seems he run afolw of the law. DUI in indiana. They took away his drivers license. So olby thinks he can't vote. They give you a state ID anyway Keith.
This is what I don't get about those who hate Voter ID laws. I have to present my ID to cash my SSI check. To get admited to the hospital. To buy my mom ciggerettes. And why the hell is it such a burden to show it to vote? If the poor can show it to buy smokes, they can show it to vote! Geez.
GOLD; RICK TRUMP (not related) and the Knob Hill Homeowners Assoc. - for denying a Iraq vet a home. Gives various excusses and none of them hold water. I hate homeonwer assoc.
I listen to Phil Hendrie on the radio and one of his funnier characters is Bobbi Dooley of the Western Estates Homeowners Assoc. She is one of the most evil and petty people you want to meet. And it sounds like she could give this hump a run for his money.
Happy 4th guys. Don't blow off any body parts and see you all Tuesday!
I'm proud to be a American!

From 131K in the "key demo" to 93K. In one week. Guess he won't be making fun of his competitor's ratings anymore.
Let's get MKDAWUSS' comments out of the way:
Carlos: "When did he ever mock make fun of other people's ratings?"
Person with intelligence: If you have to ask that you clearly have never watched Countdown and you're not even close to the devoted Olbermann fan you claim to be.
Carlos: "I'm sure if you look at the beginnings of Countdown it takes time to build an audience."
Person with intelligence: I'm sure you don't have a shred of evidence to support that but regardless I sincerely doubt that 93K was the audience Current TV was looking for.
Carlos: "WAAAAAA! Olbermann isn't on an upper tier channel!"
Person with intelligence: And you continue to ignore the reasons why that is.
