God I hate the PG era
With that said...I agree with your and others overall point. If Beck is losing REVENUE then that's definitely a reason to potentially axe him.
However, that wasn't the topic of this thread and has been a goal post move by a lot of the people arguing for it. The topic of this thread was focusing, seemingly, on him being "axed" because he lost a million viewers. You can't sit here and go "He's going to get axed because he lost 1/3rd of his viewers" and then when people point out the size of his viewers go "Yeah but his revenues are down".
Kind of like you saying that Matthews ratings are irrelevant to whether or not Beck lost 1/3rd of his viewers, whether he lost one million viewers or not is irrelevant to whether is revenue's are down. As you and others are arguing, him having high ratings does note correllate to high revenues. Similarly, him losing 1 million viewers doesn't necessarily mean he's hurting in regards to revenues.
People were trying to argue he was floundering because he lost 1 million viewers. People, rightfully so, countered this by showing that even though he lost 1 million he's still an extremely successful show with regards to viewership so axing him for that reason would be foolish. So now people are trying to put the revenue argument out there thinking that counters the counter, when in actuality its an entirely different argument.
Is Beck getting axed because he lost 1 million viewers...which was the original point and topic of the thread?
or is Beck getting axed because his revenue is going down...which is now the sudden change people are attempting to push.
Those are two significantly different accusations, and questions, and I find it rather funny watching people quickly grab onto that when it was obvious the million viewers lost comments didn't stand alone well when looking at the big picture as a reason Beck would be "axed"
I have mixed feelings on the TV-PG era. At least Mae Young won't be giving birth to a hand or anything as stupid and vile as that.
You are correct on the direction of the thread, but the position that he was getting axed for losing viewers was never my position. I simply countered the claim that just because he has more viewers than some one else does not mean he is safe. I have no clue what FOX is considering with respect to Beck, and for the most part don't care.
