All tag results for 'decline'

Ann Curry may have gotten the boot from The Today Show a little over a year after replacing Meredith Vieira, but she's getting the last laugh.

Not only is she still making the $10 million a year that the network promised her for anchoring the show, but the ratings continue to decline after her departure!

As a result, a source close to her revealed that she feels "vindicated" and proceeded to explain:

Uh-oh! This is not a good sign!

Although Bethenny Frankel's new syndicated talk show, Bethenny, started out it the first of its six-week test run with impressive viewership and ratings, it's already started to lose momentum in its second - BIG TIME!

According to reports, the ratings have already declined from a solid 1.9 and 7% share to a 0.9 and 3% share!

However, there's still some good news for the former Real Housewives castmember!

Even at her lowest, gurl is STILL pulling in better numbers than

All right, Upper East Siders!

We've got some good news and bad news!

While many of you may be worried that Gossip Girl's low ratings this year could lead to its cancellation, sources close to the CW drama have revealed that it will mostly likely be renewed for a sixth season!

The bad news?

It will be

The population of the Canadian Georgia River reindeer has dropped almost 92% over the last few decades.

There were once over 900,000 reindeer and now there are only about 74,000.

Iron-ore mining, hydro-power flooding and road building are apparently the cause of the dwindling numbers.

Chief of the local natives, the Innu people said:

"All the massive industrial 'development' projects that have been imposed on our land in the last forty years have undoubtedly had a cumulative impact on the size of the caribou herd.

That is why we need real control over our territories and resources, and why we must be involved as equals in decisions that affect our lands and the animals that live there."

So sad that people just living their lives don't even realize the effect they have on the local ecosystem, and how its devastation affects us.

Poor reindeers!

Also, poor Santa! Where will he go to hire more help??

According to new data from the Pew Research Center, the U.S. birth rate has continued to decline last year following a year of record high births in 2007.

The amount of babies being born has decreased by over 300,000 last year compared to the amount born in '07.

Experts are linking the downturn to the poor economy, which makes sense because, well, kids are expensive!

Not surprisingly,

Yay!!! The roads are 30% safer to drive on!

Drunk driving incidents have decreased by that percentage in the last five years, while incidents in 2010 were at the LOWEST in nearly two decades!

That statistic is pretty reassuring, as long as people were telling the truth. The results are from a 2010 national telephone survey of 210,000 adults. Respondents were kept anonymous, but who likes to admit they got drunk and drove?

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has also

Yeah. We give it another week - maybe two, if its lucky!

The Playboy Club is certainly looking as though it's going to be the first casualty of the television season, as the show earned a mere 1.3/3 average rating last night, which puts it down 19% after only one week!

Ouch!

Brandi Glanville is probably having one hell of a laugh this morning!

P.S. What do U think is next? We say Charlie's Angels!
