More people are in Grand Central Station than watch MSNBC during the day

[DainBramaged]

In August, CNN topped MSNBC during the daytime (9am-5pm) in both total viewers and the key demo 25-54 and in total day (6am-6am) among total viewers. In head-to-head comparisons with MSNBC’s daytime non-opinion programming – CNN had a 66% advantage among total viewers (439k vs. 265k) and a 41% lead among adults 25-54 (117k vs. 83k). MSNBC placed fourth every hour during the daytime in the demo 25-54, except at 4p where they placed third behind CNN’s Rick’s List. Rick’s List topped MSNBC at both 3pm and at 4pm in the demo 25-54 – with CNN outperforming MSNBC Live (122k vs. 84k) and Dylan Ratigan (126k vs. 86k). In total day among total viewers, CNN had 381k vs. MSNBC’s 378k. CNN’s AC 360 also topped MSNBC in total viewers at 10p with 559k vs. 534k.

That means only 83,000 adults in the money range (25-54) watch MSNoBodyCares during the day. And the remaining from the 265,000 are us old folks or kids who are bored.


What a suck-ass station. And my cable company considers them a premium station, LOLOL.

2. well - to be fair . . . I am not sure 9-5 is a good time to rate a channel like this

I would think how they stack up 6-9 am and during the evening would be more telling.

4. This why we never get TV with a Liberal Slant. Look how we

badmouth the only station and many refuse to watch it.

In order for it to get better and have a larger
audience is for people to watch.

Oh well, who needs a TV Station supporting Liberal ideas.

Just make them all right wing.

5. They WON'T give us the dayside, management already stated that years ago.

FAUX light daylight, Liberals delight at night.

So is this like the same as criticizing President Obama? We just shouldn't? Just accept whatever shit they shovel our way?

6. In order for it to get larger and have more people watch, MSNBC

needs to get better and not be such a hopeless suckfest.

But then again, it's cable news. It will ALWAYS suck.

8. I think what really hurts MSNBC

is the repeat of Chris Matthews at 7pm. For those who watch TV during the supper hour - that's a lot of Matthews. Bring on Cenk at 7. Or Allison Stewart. Or Bill Press. Or Ron Reagan!

9. People are not sitting glued to the TV sets.\ during the days. SO

when the surveys give one cable news priority (fox)over the other as was posted here before look at what stations are turned on to fox. Most of the public viewing places have their TV on fox. And a lot of the cable companies don't even carry CNN and MSNBC. I bet that Comcast gets away with not carrying CNN or MSNBC while they carry fox in a heck of a lot of areas. How can you justify counting that. Remember the white house during Bush's reign had all the TV station religiously turned to Fox. If you went up to house to house and left all that extra padding out, I think all three cable shows, CNN, MSNBC and fox would average out to about the same. You betcha.....
