Survivor beats Joey, but NBC beats CBS?? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Figuring that its the same thing on every channel.... why did more people watch NBC than CBS for "the forbidden broadcast"??

Because of Dan Rather

But seriously I think Americans tend to turn to NBC most often for news. If they're gonna watch one of the main channels and not a cable news channel, I think the majority picks NBC in most cases.

haha, Dan Rather.

I watched it on NBC.... because NBC comes in clearer than CBS.
For some reason my CBS comes in like ****.
But thats ok.... besides a few things (Survivor, Two & A Half Men and Letterman).... I dont watch CBS anyways.

Give me NBC anyday for news/political coverage over CBS... even before the Rather mess, I preferred NBC.

Well I loathe Peter Jennings

, never watched Tom Brokaw much, so if I do watch News it's Dan Rather, IMO he's the best

I'd rather watch paint dry than watch Jennings.

Whats with the Jennings hatred??

I think he's better than Rather, but not as good as Brokaw.

Jennings is a pompous ass, who thinks he's better than everyone else, and has no problem insulting people

I've hated the man for years
