2002:02:05:15:27:12 F11 TODAY ON TV A dramatic finish yielded only minor ratings gains for the Super Bowl, while in the fumbled away most of that audience due in part to its late postgame start, based on viewing estimates issued Tuesdayby Nielsen Media Research. Viewing of the game rose from last year (the percentage of U.S. homes tuning in was actually the same, but the population has grown), as usual dwarfing anything else broadcast on TV this season. Viewers drifted away, however, during the protracted postgame show, and the youth-oriented which get on the air until 10:52 p.m. Eastern fell more than short of post-Super Bowl viewing of last year.

Insert your own joke here, meanwhile, for attempt to lure away viewers with a special Playboy Playmate edition of versus halftime and postgame coverage. NBC did draw the highest young-adult rating for any network against the Super Bowl in eight years, but the ratings were still modest. On Friday, an interview with Celine Dion helped belt out its biggest audience in 10 months, though the newsmagazine still trailed Order: Special Victims in its time slot. ABC also received a lift from Rose which finished its three-night run as the highest-rated miniseries since of the in 1999.

Each guest in the fluctuating roster usually receives about $1,000 per appearance (the host, of course, owns the franchise), but McLaughlin is quick to note that panelists fill their pockets in other ways. Just being on the show very he said.

I see been out on the My goal was to get thoughts on the talking-head culture he has helped popularize, with sons of Fox News Beltway featuring former regulars Morton Kondrackeand Fred up all across the dial. McLaughlin took me to lunch at the ritzy Water Grill in downtown L.A., and despite his clipped tones, no one would accuse this former Jesuit priest of being short-winded. Indeed, based on his lunchtime patter, I began to fear inquiring about his tie would prompt a dissertation on the history of haberdasheries in America.

After asking how his show wound up on KCET, I found myself listening to a long story about his testimony to Congress before the birth of PBS in the 1960s. When he paused to take a bite of his scallops and the next sentence began, show started in April of on WRC in I briefly contemplated how much iced tea it would take, swallowed quickly, to kill a man my size. Still, no question that McLaughlin, who is 74 but like to discuss it, knows his audience and truly seems to believe his show inspires debate that is for the To McLaughlin, TV talk has supplanted the street cafe or barber shop as a center for public discourse, providing an outlet for people harried and to engage in such vigorous dialogue on their own. as simple as he said. an appetite developed, to have a meeting place, a talking place, a forum, for the exchange of he added, by his taped introductions, which apart the polarities of the issue so very clearly set Of course, anyone who has watched or any other TV talk show comes away with the impression that the most knowledgeable person in the world be invited back if unable to present arguments in an entertaining fashion, hence the emphasis on predictions, posturing and other show-business trappings.

Individuals gather with passionate beliefs about public policy issues, and I hire them because they are so passionate as well as Although he served as a special assistant during the Nixon and Ford administrations, McLaughlin describes himself as a registered independent (labeled conservative, he quipped, because of his and dictatorial and the ideological on his program, which now offers an extra four minutes of content previously excised to make room for commercials on KNBC.

Addressing charges of liberal bias within the media in general and PBS in particular, McLaughlin, astaunch supporter of public broadcasting, sees some merit in those claims but proposes the larger pitfall at PBS is a tendency toward elitism. As for explaining his longevity in this perceived tree-hugging environment, I could have sworn I asked but later realized my point somehow got lost amid another McLaughlin monologue. McLaughlin did express scant concern about the proliferation of daily talk on cable undercutting his weekly showcase, and shrugged off media coverage of the tussle between CNN and Fox News as gossip feasted upon by media pretty much them alone. think mostly an inside sport for he said. just hope it take up too much of By the time we stood up from the table, I realized McLaughlin had steered the entire interview the way he controls one of his programs and began to appreciate how he has made a living all these years, even if I might yell in response to his definition of what constitutes a shout-fest.
