Live Earth Last in ratings

I wonder how much $$$ NBC paid to the Al Gore-athon people for last place ratings? Re-runs of cops and America's funnies home video's did better....LOL

Lets' blame the low ratings on weather.........

Saturday 7/07/07

Household Rating/Share
CBS: 3.8/ 8, Fox: 3.0/ 6, ABC: 2.1/ 4, NBC: 1.8/ 4

-Total Viewers:

-Adults 18-49:
Fox: 1.5 rating/6 share, ABC and CBS: 1.1/ 4 each, NBC: 0.9/ 3
It was another dull summer Saturday of mixed leadership, with CBS the most-watched network and Fox No. 1 among adults 18-49. The three-hour Live Earth Concert on NBC finished last, with just 2.75 million viewers and a 0.9 rating/3 share among adults 18-49 from 8-11 p.m.

Fox’s double (original and repeat) dose of Cops was first from 8-9 p.m., with an average 4.31 million viewers and a 1.4/ 6 among adults 18-49 from 8-9 p.m. That led into America’s Most Wanted at 4.90 million viewers (#2) and a 1.6/ 6 in the demo at 9 p.m. CBS opened with a repeat of Cold Case (Viewers: #2, 4.00 million; A18-49: #4, 0.7/ 3 at 8 p.m.), followed two hours of 48 Hours Investigates at an average 5.82 million viewers and a 1.4/ 5 among adults 18-49 from 9-11 p.m. If you like scripted forensic crime solving, you should not miss the real thing on 48 Hours Investigates.

Over at ABC, a repeat of Monsters, Inc. averaged 4.70 million viewers and a 1.2/ 4 among adults 18-49 from 8-10 p.m., followed by a repeat of America’s Funniest Home Videos (Viewers: #2, 3.56 million; A18-49: #2t, 1.1/ 4) at 10 p.m. What a night!

That's why I didn't watch. It was 90+ at our house, but the cold coming in from the TV was too much for me. I had to turn it off.
Where's global warming when you really need it?

I virtually never watch live TV anymore, but my HD-DVR did have a busy saturday night. Between the US Senior Open coverage, Tigers AT&T National event, and the Nextel Cup Race, I hardly had time to notice what else was being broadcast.

I watched some of it, the experience would have been a bit better had the sound crews been better.

Had the same songs not been repeated over and over on the four or so channels that were showing the thing (but never the songs I wanted to see again ), and had there been MORE musicians shown, then I think there would have been more reason to watch the whole thing - I mean come on, it's a world event, there are other musicians in the world besides Madonna and Lenny Kravitz.
Not to offend fans of either of them, but, for all the musicians who played at Live Earth, I saw only one (one!) person who was televised who doesn't have any songs on American radio satiations.
