Not for the decade or so going against Mc Neil. I don't think they did that all in the midday time slot either but I could be wrong
Well Mac beat them ususally, but B&B had decent ratings in a good demo. they made money.
This.
Yes, MJH beat B&B for many books. They were a ratings juggernaut and B&B took a while to catch up following their move to afternoons. B&B did close the gap and ultimately beat them in a few books beginning in late 2008. After that they were pretty much neck & neck...not the complete beat-down that some seem to believe.
Marriotti regularly beat them when they went head to head in mid days.
They have never been a consistent juggernaut.
this is true. I've been saying this for years, and I'm a fan. They're a niche show. No idea what guy had the smart idea to put them in drive time, but it ruined a good show that had a smaller base of fans more in line with its thrust. A turn to drive time has brought out the worst in Dan. Take this show back to mid-days, bring back second hand news, decrease the listening base, and let's have fun again. While you're at it, bring back shorty george for updates.
