(1,370 posts)And Hannity has strong numbers:

He beats out lots of people on his own network - Greta, Cavuto, Baier, Shep....in fact he's second only to BOR.
And he beats out everybody at MSNBC and CNN.
So I don't think its that he's too boring to have viewers...I think its more of a Beck thing.
Beck had good numbers at Fox...but no advertisers. So he got jettisoned.
I think Hannity has been lumped in with Limbaugh, and a lot of the advertisers he put a stop order on commercials running during Limbaugh's show did the same thing for Hannity spots. And this may have bled over to his tv ads. I'd be curious to see what kinds of ads are running in his time slot - if its just promos for other Fox shows, he's got a problem....and could be jettisoned.
