“It’s a toxic show with horrible hosts.” That’s the word from Joe Barron, executive vice president in charge of programming at DirecTV. The company, which has been trying tr re-brand itself with the rise of streaming services, believes this is the best way to keep a solid, happy customer base.

‘Look at Fox News,” said Barron, “while the cable industry in general begins its death throes, this one network has managed to keep its audience and even grow.”

Barron says doing away with shows such as “The View” is the best way to keep DirecTV’s most reliable customers. “You have to think the way the Boomers think,” he told his coworkers at a symposium on further exploiting an entire generation in the Trump years, “They prefer not to. They’d rather just turn on the TV and let their favorite personalities do that for them.”

DirecTV has secured a relationship with Fox through 2049. ABC, however, still has some catching up to do. It needs to compensate Roseanne for “The Connors,” and hire Gina Carano as an on-the-field commentator for the NFL. She played in the league for three years as Larry Humbeckler of the Cleveland Browns before they moved to Baltimore.

ABC says it has no plans to cancel its number-one-rated daytime show and will instead “go the way of Sunday Ticket and help the slow death of DirecTV’s archaic platform go the way of the dodo.

For now, it seems the boomers will still have their Fox News, but they may have to miss out on Grey’s Anatomy. Is it worth it?

    do similar in favor of you.

  45. First of all I would like to say terrific blog!
    I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear

    You are so intelligent. You already know thus significantly
    with regards to this topic, made me for my part consider it from numerous numerous angles.
    Its like women and men aren’t interested unless
    it’s something to accomplish with Woman gaga! Your individual stuffs nice.
    All the time take care of it up!

  52. I think that what you published was very reasonable.
    However, what about this? what if you added a little
    content? I am not saying your content is
    not solid., however suppose you added a post title that grabbed people’s attention?
    I mean DirecTV Will Drop ABC If They Don’t Cancel “The View” – Dunning-Kruger-Times.com is a little plain.
    You could look at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create post titles to grab viewers interested.

    You might add a related video or a pic or
    two to grab readers excited about everything’ve got to say.
    In my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.

  53. Link exchange is nothing else except it is just placing the other person’s weblog
    link on your page at suitable place and other person will also do same for you.

  55. Its like you read my thoughts! You seem to understand a lot about this,
    like you wrote the e book in it or something. I think that you
    simply could do with some p.c. to power the message house a
    bit, but instead of that, that is magnificent blog. A great
    read. I’ll certainly be back.
