Media Winners & Losers

MEDIA WINNER:
Dagen McDowell and Sean Duffy

Fox Business hosts Dagen McDowell and Sean Duffy are already pulling in impressive ratings with their new show The Bottom Line.

The show, co-hosted by McDowell and Duffy, was launched on Jan. 23 and airs weekdays on Fox Business at 6 p.m., with CNBC’s Mad Money with Jim Cramer as its main timeslot rival.

The hosts tend to put a political or cultural spin on business news, sometimes interviewing everyday people and business owners about policy over lawmakers themselves.

Just a couple weeks in and The Bottom Line has already notched its second weekly win over CNBC. The Fox Business hosts brought the network an average of 179,000 total viewers, compared to CNBC's 154,000 -- marking a 16 percent advantage.

The Bottom Line has also secured double-digit growth year over year, closing January with 236,000 viewers, which topped Mad Money by 55 percent.

The ratings continued into February, with The Bottom Line besting CNBC for a second week in a row. Major kudos to the fresh hosts for delivering impressive growth to their network.

MEDIA LOSER:
Michael Irvin

NFL Network analyst Michael Irvin was pulled from the network’s airwaves on Wednesday and will no longer participate in Super Bowl coverage following allegations of misconduct at a hotel Sunday night.

Alex Riethmiller, the NFL Media’s Vice President of Communications, announced the news Wednesday, while the Dallas Morning News also interviewed Irvin about the alleged incident.

Irvin told the paper that he returned to his hotel in Glendale, Arizona after dinner on Sunday, and had a "45-second conversation" with a woman in the lobby. He claimed to not know her name.

“I don’t really recall that conversation, to tell you the truth,” Irvin said.

“We were out drinking. It was just a friendly conversation, ‘what’s up?’ I don’t even know… I am totally perplexed.”

No additional details on the incident have been provided by the claimant or by the NFL.

While Irvin insisted he does not recall the conversation, the woman's allegation is apparently serious enough to axe the Hall of Fame wide receiver from his scheduled appearances for the remainder of the Super Bowl.
