Cable News Ratings

[SleeplessinSoCal]

Adweek TVnewser doesn't track the wannabe FNC's. But yesterday's ratings in total viewers is very good news for reality based news viewers.

MSNBC killed yesterday 2/4.

1. Good job, everyone at MSNBC -- but Rachel is really the star. nt

2. If Chris Hayes could just slow down when he gets excited, he'd benefit

As would we all. I just keep hearing that CNN is winning the ratings war because of the 25-54 demographics. We must all be getting old.

4. agree nt

5. IMHO, Chris Hayes is awesome. He's genuine and puts the analysis together beautifully.

I'm a huge fan of Chris Hayes.

7. I am too.

But he needs to mediate or do Yoga.

[BComplex]

9. Ha! Actually, he does. eom

3. The wannabe's have tiny audiences, compared to these three.

Here is evidence re: Newsmax:

6. the pandemic did a real number on FNC

Gives me hope. Carlson gets the highest ratings on FNC. Glad to see Hannity's audience shrink. Ever since his hosting George Zimmerman before his trial, I thought he did the greatest damage to our race relations until Twitler usurped him and then they played footsies causing lasting harm to our sanity.

8. It's hard to say what are the causes. Per the linked sources above, Fox did well through the summer.

The pandemic was going strong then.

From Forbes: "For calendar year 2020, in primetime, with Trump running for reelection, along with the pandemic and social justice rallies, Fox News set a cable network audience record in primetime with an average of 3.6 million viewers nightly, a year-over-year increase of 43%."

But Fox's numbers have dropped recently.

Hannity is a smug, entitled liar, like many in his audience, including his biggest fan.

11. Fox's ratings drop is directly linked to their being the first to call AZ for Biden election night

That didn’t fit into the nutjob’s distorted reality, so they bailed and went to Newsmax and OAN.

[spooky3]

12. Some did, but given the low numbers for Newsmax, without

a huge recent uptick, it appears many went elsewhere.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

13. I hope some went to CNN.

My con 1/2 sister tried MSNBC Jan 20th and complained on Facebook about their criticism of Trump.

[spooky3]

15. Ditto. But I think some went to entirely different shows, such

as reality TV and reruns of old comedies.

14. Fux did a number on the pandemic

They went along with the 'Democrat hoax' sn the other Trump lies

10. 8 ok is weak for both CNN and MSNBC

tucker carlson is a complete asswipe traitor.

i wish either CNN or MSNBC would put in a really good journalist. Cooper can't seem to ask a question without rambling, and Chis Hayes is not as compelling as the people before and after him. I think both Cooper and Hayes are drags on their respective networks and the rating numbers bear that out.

16. Hayes has been a print journalist.

In late 2003, he began a four-year stint at In These Times, a labor-focused monthly magazine based in Chicago, where he was a senior editor.

From 2005 to 2006, Hayes was a Schumann Center Writing Fellow at In These Times. From 2006 through 2007, Hayes was a Puffin Foundation Writing Fellow at The Nation Institute, and a contributing writer for The Nation. On November 1, 2007, The Nation named him its Washington, D.C. editor, succeeding David Corn.

Maybe he should focus on labor rather than be "all in", as it were.

But his numbers are better than CNN overall and improve from 4:00/7:00
