“With some
315 million Americans living in homes with TVs, there is clearly a huge market
inefficiency here [in morning news shows] that is waiting for a visionary
network TV executive to fill. How? With a morning program that fearlessly
embraces the morning misanthropy that defines the emotional state of so many of
us; that provides an offering that lets us embrace the sour spirit with which
we begin the day.”—American author and longtime political, media and culture reporter
Jeff Greenfield, “How About a Morning Show for the Sullen and Sleepy?” The
Wall Street Journal, Feb. 8-9, 2025
