RR, I don't from where you get your information, but some of your statements don't add up. For one, a network news show at 6:30 PM EST is typically viewed by between 6 million and 10 million depending on which network newscast one watches. The largest audience among cable news shows closest to the 6:30 EST timeslot is about 3.5 million that tune in to watch Bret Baier on Fox. From then on through the evening Fox and the other cable networks program opinion shows.
I for one have never seen any TV host's contract, so I don't know the terms of those contracts. Perhaps you are privy to them. As I posted elsewhere, NBC and probably GE made a business decision in its equity holders interests in order to maximize the return of their investment.
