Rosie should get her arguements in now.... her days on 'The View' are numbered as the coutdown begins

Posted: 4/30/07 at 4:19pmYes, her days on the VIEW are numbered. Meanwhile, she is getting lots of offers which will probably pay her what the View refused to pay her. Either way, Rosie comes out ahead.Keep hearing Whoopi or Roseanne Barr are up for Rosie's job. Question: How long will it take for these Rosie haters to demand Rosanne/Whoopi to be fired for something THEY find offensive? These people need to get a life!

Wow, ABC Daytime has some serious shopping to do.
They never replaced Star Jones, Rosie's leaving, and Elisabeth will be out for some time. 3 New people needed, and fast.

I don't think Rosie's contract disagreement issues had ANYTHING to do with money. I think it all had to do with ABC wanting to set rules for what Rosie could and could not say and do on the show.

Posted: 4/30/07 at 4:40pmI guess Rosie must think that she's the exception to opening up her mouth about anyone and can say whatever she pleases. Guess again Rosie. Donald Trump proved you wrong.

Posted: 4/30/07 at 4:45pmHey well, if that's the case, why shouldn't Rosie follow the rules like eveyone else does on 'The View'. She's no exception.

You're right-she was "let go".

Section 3.6: "What is sweeps?"
Answer:
There are four "sweeps" periods during the year (though the fourth sweeps period in the summer is less important): November sweeps, February sweeps, May sweeps and July sweeps. It is during these "sweeps" periods ( lasting 4 weeks) that the advertising rates for a network's schedule of shows (and for local channel's programming) are set with sponsors and advertisers.
http://homepage.mac.com/ijball/ratv/FAQL/section-3.6.html
Sweeps start on a Thursday, and end on a Wednesday. They always run exactly 4 weeks. They generally take place during the following times:
November sweeps : 1st week of Nov. thru 4th week of Nov.
February sweeps : 1st week of Feb. thru 4th week of Feb.
May sweeps : last week of April thru 3rd week of May
July sweeps : 2nd week of July thru 1st week of August
There are also January sweeps in 17 markets, October sweeps in 25 markets and March sweeps in the top 4 markets.
It is of the upmost importance that a particular network get the highest ratings possible during these sweeps, so that they can charge higher rates from advertisers. Further, a secondary goal for the networks is to "win" the sweeps period both in terms of overall ratings and in terms of the ratings for "favorable" demographics (e.g. people 18-49, especially those 18-39 years old), again with the eye on charging higher advertising rates (and thus generating higher profits, which in turn can lead to the development of better shows, etc.). So sweeps periods are often when networks roll out "big" specials (such as miniseries, TV movies or "reunion" shows) and the "best" (i.e. controversial) episodes of some of their most popular shows.
Sweeps periods are also used by local affiliate stations, and are considered very important by the local affiliates.
Still, sweeps results are but one factor in the setting of ad rates.
Of these four sweeps periods, the May sweeps seem to be the most important, for two reasons. Firstly, May is most usually when shows have their season-closing episodes. Season-closing episodes (e.g. cliff-hangers) are important in helping to draw viewers back to those same shows when they premiere in the fall. Secondly (and more importantly for the network overall), the May sweeps are used to set advertising rates for the upcoming fall premiere season (though the previous November sweeps are also a factor in this process).
November sweeps set the ad rates for the following spring; they are probably as important as the May sweeps, and they are used to gauge the success of new TV shows that premiere in the fall. February sweeps set the ad rates for the following summer. The least important, fourth sweeps period, is in July/August, and seem to be used to set ad rates for fall/winter.

Posted: 4/30/07 at 5:39pmI thought she was pregnant for the past month or so...her face and arms have filled out and she's been wearing those baby doll dresses and empire waisted shirts. Pregnancy suits her--she looks prettier in the face and she's wanted to have a second kid for a while now--but she REALLY needs to stop with the self tanning crap.

Posted: 4/30/07 at 10:06pmRosie was offered $30mil for three more years - but she would only commit to one. ABC wanted the three-year commitment. They couldn't come to an agreement.

I heard what Rath heard. It wasn't money, but the lenght of her contract. They wanted 3 yrs, Rosie wanted to go year by year.
I think the network capitulated with a 2 year offer, but Rosie still wanted a year by year.
Anyway, whatever your views are on Rosie (and I actually am in the minority of not liking her) I do believe her departure is strictly based on a business decision and not ABC trying to censor her.
I mean fox has never tried to censor O'riley. At the end of the day, controversy means ratings and I'm sure ABC is sorry to see her go.
