| #6 Waaay truthy, Flavins. The ratings for that second half hour would've been twice as high, too. |

| #5 Knowing that you suck in third place, thinking outside the box, the exec's should have hired the anchor at Univision then could have done a first half hour in English and a second in Spanish. Probably would have double their market. |

| #1 If the objective, as Mickey Kaus says, was to screw NBC's 'Today Show', then it might have been worth the $15 million. And if Perky can recreate the Today Show as an evening event (which is possible, given her recent hiring of her doctor-friend as medical correspondent), then CBS could make out on the deal. |
