O'Reilly drew 2 "He invented an entire genre of television
"We're proud of the program and we're disappointed that the show was not able to attract the viewership we had hoped for and expected," said Erik Sorenson, MSNBC president MSNBC Axes Phil Donahue's Talk Show
Feb 25, 11:59 PM EST
MSNBC fired Phil Donahue on Tuesday, abruptly ending the veteran talk show host's return to television after six months of poor ratings The news show that precedes him on the air, "Countdown: Iraq," temporarily will be expanded to two hours to replace him
During this month, a "sweeps" month in which ratings are watched closely to set advertising rates, "Donahue" averaged 446,000 viewers "His legacy is unharmed," he said
The network took him off the air immediately, and is showing reruns through Friday
"We thank Phil and his staff for their dedication, commitment and passion "
Donahue's agent said the talk show host would issue a statement on the show's end on Wednesday
The show's failure is "a footnote" to Donahue's career, Tyndall said "Right from the start, they haven't settled on a format and let it grow so people can find it MSNBC hoped "Donahue" would provide a liberal counterweight to Fox News Channel's competing "The O'Reilly Factor," but the ratings started poorly and didn't improve
Connie Chung's CNN show that debuted shortly before "Donahue" averaged 985,000 viewers this month, Nielsen said "Anyone who's under 25 doesn't remember when his old talk show was on the air," Tyndall said 7 million viewers, up 28 percent from February 2002, according to Nielsen Media Research If it's not working in a few months, they cancel it and move on to something else
The political talk show format has yet to prove â€â€? and may never â€â€? that it can support a liberal voice, said Andrew Tyndall, head of ADT Research, a television news consulting firm
Donahue's chances weren't helped by MSNBC's impatience, he said
Donahue was a nine-time Daytime Emmy winner for his syndicated talk show, which began in 1967 and aired nationally from 1970 to 1996, paving the way for dozens of such shows to follow
The move was not a surprise
"They're very quick to cancel shows," Tyndall said
He began his MSNBC show July 15 with a panel discussion on whether the United States should try to oust Saddam Hussein "
MSNBC also has sought a younger audience than its cable news rivals and the hiring of Donahue, 67, went against that strategy On Monday night, with Rosie O'Donnell as guest, they talked about the same topic
"Countdown: Iraq," with Lester Holt as host, is one of the network's few success stories, occasionally inching past CNN to second in the cable news ratings
MSNBC tried to tweak the show in November, putting Donahue in front of a live audience in New York instead of in a New Jersey studio, but it made little difference
