Why does MSNBC . . .
   
. . . have so many bloody commercials for itself, repeated over and over and over and over, sometimes back to back.

Is there not enough material to fill up more time? Do they have any idea how annoying it is?

1. I never understood why any channel did that
   
aren't I already watch said channel, why do you need to have a commercial about yourself on your channel?

2. So true...
   
I was painting a room last year (took WAY too long) and had the tv on MSNBC and I swear the ads nearly drove me insane.

And that was before the "Lean Forward" campaign.

6. They would probably be happy to sell it to paying advertisers.
   
Most of it, anyways. They can't just stretch their programming to fill space, they have schedules...

Two main reasons - The first is mentioned above.

The second is that they need to keep your tiny little minds from wandering too far and perhaps forgetting that you're due for the next dose of agitprop brainwashing at 1930.

Good idea! If we can, we could make the deficit disappear within a year, just from the proceeds from the DUmp!

Basically, it involves having a lot of advertising slots cut into the programming, and not being able to sell most of them because your viewership is so low, and in a shitty demographic even what little there is.

No one wants to advertise on a channel that only attracts roughly 1 million views at it's daily peak.

That's what happens when you're in last place.

I used to watch her regularly, but the rest of CNN programming got so poor that I just switched over to Fox/Fox business for my morning news fix.  And +1 on Randy's observations.

Robin and Co is the only show I watch on HLN or CNN. I can't take the rest of their screed.

...and Randy's observations are one of the reasons. Her fill-ins are even hot.  :naughty:

I think a lot of reputable companies would advertise on PMSNBC, if they had an audience. As it is, they get more bang for their buck by hiring a little plane to tow a sign above a football stadium. The problem is, Keef, The Munch, and Big Head Ed don't draw flies.

I'd fold her up like a lawn chair...still can't watch her on TV though.

There is one journo that I've met while in Afghanistan however...that I wouldn't care if she worked for MSNBC...I'd watch with the TV on mute...her name is Leisa Roles.

Robin and Co. is about as apolitical as a show can get. The reason I started watching it is because I cannot bear to watch "Fox and Friends". Sorry, different strokes, but that show sucks.
