MSNBC Just Had Its Most Dreadful Ratings Period in 6 Years
Last edited Thu Jul 4, 2013, 04:20 PM USA/ET - Edit history (2)
Despite a heavy period of news that included the Boston Marathon bombings and the Jodi Arias trial, MSNBC's second-quarter ratings plunged to their lowest level since 2007.
In primetime, MSNBC drew an average of 584,000 total viewers and 196,000 viewers in the key 25-54 age demographic. Those numbers were down 16% and 12%, respectively, from the second quarter of 2012. And they accounted for quarter lows not seen since the fourth and second quarters of 2007, respectively.
The network had seen signs of this coming in some dreadful monthly ratings, particularly in May. The same factors contributed to the network's ratings decline over the full quarter. "The Rachel Maddow Show" suffered its lowest-rated quarter in terms of total viewers since 2008. And June alone was the lowest rated month ever for Maddow in both total viewers and in the 25-54 group.
New host Chris Hayes continues to pull in sluggish ratings for "All In With Chris Hayes," which in its first full quarter on air provided MSNBC with the lowest-rated 8 p.m. hour in the 25-54 demographic since 2006.

Well, I guess that's what they get for silencing their most liberal voices (Olbermann and Cenk).
What I wouldn't give for the old MSNBC and the promise of what they may have become - a truly progressive voice - instead of sycophantic ramblings for for the status quo of the ruling class.
Let's hope DU does not suffer from the flood of Think Tank personas posting here!

2. Just watch MSNBC's emphasis on Snowden
instead of the data collection center in Utah, and you get the picture.
They are all about protecting Obama's image.
With every passing recent action the President has made, the alienation of the left has widened.
Folks aren't in the mood to be led by cheerleaders right now.
Once again if you fools would listen to us you would know these things way in advance. :rotf:

Well Keef did bring in tens of viewers. I thought Rachel Madcow was all the rage these days anyway.

They have made Olbermann a martyr and a messiah rolled up into one. Just not "the one".

Absolutely!
Keith Olberblownmann was a pure godsend for Current and single-handedly saved that network from extinction...

Now they will be pinning their hopes on the riots that will follow a Zimmermann not guilty verdict to bring up ratings.

You have got to be kidding.
