28. Yeah - I don't get complaining about a TV personality

If you don't like him, change the channel. Eventually if enough people do that, the channel will notice a drop in viewership at a particular time.

For example, see the reputed soon to be done shuffle that will move Chuck Todd to 9 AM. Apparently MSNBC noticed that after good numbers from 4-5 PM (Nicolle Wallace), viewership dropped at 5, and then went back up at 6 PM (Ari Melber). So there is talk that Todd will move to the slot following Morning Joe.

With the lackluster performance of Todd’s MTP Daily at 5 p.m.—“a hammock,” as one insider put it, between the robust ratings of Nicolle Wallace’s 4 p.m. show and Ari Melber’s 6 p.m. show—there has been talk of switching Todd to 9 a.m., as Page Six first reported. Under that scenario, the current 9 a.m. anchor, Stephanie Ruhle, could move to 3 p.m., where her financial expertise would mesh well with the market closings.
