Olbermann, Matthews to CNBC?

[warrens]

On the cable side, NBC U has been considering drastic measures, including scrapping all of MSNBC's live programming and switching to a taped, magazine-like format, while switching successful personalities Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann over to sibling CNBC's primetime slate.

2. Me too

Keith was great last night on MSNBC!

[AlCzervik]

3. Thats fine with me, as long as he's still on the air.

i hope NBC doesn't cancel 30 Rock or Earl.

I'm just happy he hasn't been Phil Donahued!

last paragraph:

"NBC's cost-saving plan involves laying off people from the company's 11 news divisions, including on-air talent."

6. As long as Keith is on, I will watch n/t

7. I hope Nora O'Donnell loses her job!!..nt

8. I believe XM carries CNBC

This would be a good thing for XM listeners.

[Gabi Hayes]

23. So does Sirius.....I'll start listening if they switch over.

rest of that channel bites it big, with some weekend evening exceptions

9. Dammit! If that happens, people can tune in to Faux or CNN?

Some choice.

[KoKo]

14. Some Choice .......Ugh... CNN's the winner...and given their direction

we are the losers. Not that MSNBC lately has had any decent reporting but in the early days they were better. And, did much better coverage of the 2000 Selection and Florida Recount than CNN ever did. But, it was downhill after that with GE in the Bush Lap for favors.

Less TV News coverage is worse for us than better. Couric is going to cost CBS their nightly news so we will have NBC and ABC along with PBS and Faux and CNN.

10. I just hope

Rita Crosby and her frightening voice is one of the casualties.

[AlCzervik]

13. i think Rita is paying NBC to be on the air.

16. Ever noticed Mathews not on in Prime time.

At least not in the west.
Surprise surprise.
I wonder if it pisses him off.
I've noticed he's getting a little hotter under the collar lately.

[krkaufman]

22. Maybe CBS'll see the writing on the wall for Katie ...

... and will go after Keith. :)

[gr8dane_daddy]

24. Why not just dump matthews...

and give the Big "O" 2 hrs instead?
