THE HALF HOUR NEWS HOUR GETS PICKED UP FOR 13 EPISODES
Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter opened up the show again last night and it was
awesome. I loved every minute of it. Make sure you watch the clip if you
missed it.

There have been a lot of critics of the show but its all about rating and
viewers and the 1st show did very well. I look forward to seeing the numbers
from the 2nd show in the hopes that it will get picked up. Here is some of
what Rush had to say about how it will work as he talked to a caller last
Friday:

"Here's what happens. They produced two pilots. The second one airs at ten
p.m. this Sunday. The shows have to generate a certain rating in order for
further episodes to be ordered. The rating, of course, will determine spot
rates. The program has a cost. The cost has to be met, with a little profit
thrown in. So it all depends on how well they rate as to whether more
episodes will be ordered. I'm privy to a little bit of this that I can't
repeat right now. The process of getting it on the air has been something
that's been going on a long, long time and there are other factors involved.
I have no clue whether it's going to get picked up, by the way. I don't know
that. All I know is that it got great prepublicity before the first episode
aired two weeks ago. It got tremendous audience response the first night.
We'll see what happens on Sunday night and probably go from there. But if it
works then what will happen is there will be an order for 13 more episodes."
