Questions: About Headline Prime, FNC’s Ratings, MSNBC’s Daytime…

By Brian 

> Have the suits at Headline News decided on a new schedule for Headline Prime? What time slot is Glenn Beck taking? How will it effect Showbiz Tonight?

> An e-mailer asks about the video APTN obtained this week: “Which two NETWORK and CABLE outlets had the Bush/FEMA briefing tape and transcript and sat on them for these six months?” Is this true?… Update: 1:50pm: An anonymous tipster says “APTN fed the FEMA tape — it was a FEMA handout — on August 28. Every network that is a client had that tape but never understood its significance.”

> Granted, Daily Kos isn’t fair and balanced about Fox News. (And insert caveat here about FNC being the #1 cable news network.) But the numbers don’t lie: O’Reilly is down 21 percent, H&C are down 17 percent, and Greta is down 22 percent compared to Feb. 2005. What is FNC doing about it?

> Let’s assume this TMZ story (which put tongues in a tizzy yesterday) is false. What is happening dayside on MSNBC? Is Monica Crowley still getting her own show, and if so, when?
