MSNBC host Joy Reid and her primetime colleagues have faced a brutal decline in viewership since the election.
"The ReidOut" has shed 47% of its total audience, averaging just 759,000 viewers after averaging 1.4 million viewers throughout 2024 leading up to Election Day, according to Nielsen Media Research.
Reid lost even more viewers among the advertiser-coveted demographic ages 25-54, losing a whopping 52% of them, now averaging only 76,000 key demo viewers.
Reid's MSNBC primetime colleagues have also suffered devastating losses in viewership over the past month. The network's primetime lineup has lost a whopping 53% in total viewers, averaging at 621,000, and an astonishing 61% of viewers in the key demo, averaging 57,000.
MSNBC's biggest star, Rachel Maddow, who is only on-air Mondays, went from averaging 2.4 million total viewers leading up to the election to averaging just 1.4 million, a 43% drop. Her viewership drop among viewers in the key demo is more drastic, having lost 56% of them, averaging 103,000. Maddow is MSNBC's only primetime host to maintain six-digit viewership in the key demo.
"All In" host Chris Hayes also lost 56% of his key demo viewers in the 8 p.m. ET timeslot, averaging only 73,000 after he averaged 166,000 before the election. Hayes has shed over half of his total viewers, going from 1.5 million to just 728,000.
MSNBC's Alex Wagner, who fills Maddow's 9 p.m. ET time slot Tuesday through Friday, also lost more than half of her total viewers, averaging just 660,000 since the election and shedding nearly half of her key demo viewers, averaging 72,000.
"Last Word" host Lawrence O'Donnell also took a hit with his audience, averaging just 930,000 total viewers since the election and 78,000 in the key demo, losing more than 40% in each metric.

Exactly. Who in their right mind would watch a liar like her, and what sane company would ever sponsor that hateful racist?
Does this mean that Don Lemon thinks that she is past her prime? Seriously, any list of MSNBC viewers should be cross-referenced to FOID holders and any matches put on a watch list. Just proactive avoidance of mass shootings.
Dig, not even that deep, and you find those pockets are unwillingly filled by taxpayers.
Wanna bet the demos are even worse than the ratings...
Dats Rassis!
So now she only has 7 ??
what sane company would ever sponsor that hateful racist?
Ones with the same view point and a need to sell remember what is advertised the most is selling the least.
“Fair weather fans.”
Her show and the other mainstream shows had long ago turned into nothing more than an arm of the democrat presidential campaign.
The democrat presidential campaign was nothing more than hate Trump. What are they talking about now?
This woman, the Scarboroughs, the View, these people were all in. Any smart one of this crowd would have bout and paid for some good real estate, saved a stash to pay for its tax and upkeep for 30 years, planned for expenses, transportation for that time period and left their contract or figured out what to talk about for the next couple of years before the contract is up, and with all that TDS that won’t be easy
Because it’s over.
No one speculates over the chat between n the Scarborough couple and Trump
Was running an arm of the democratic presidential campaign legal in the law and order world were about to re enter?
“ How many businesses can shed two-thirds of their primary target audience and NOT reorganize, downsize, fire execs, and really shake things up? Why don’t these media companies do that?”
Good question. What do you think the answer is
I’m sure it’s the result of racism and sexism.
50 percent is normal? Reference?
“ “now averaging only 76,000 key demo viewers.”
Joe Rogan had over 40 million for his Trump interview Brett Baier had 8 million for Kamala interview
Tim Dillon averages 500 k I think. Maybe people haven’t heard of him, but he’s talking about the topics of the day, neither hating on anyone nor being a fan boy and he has the same audience size as some of the nightly CNN shows
The view is like 2 million
That’s the same as pre election Rachel Maddow if I’m not mistaken
Pre election these people were not doing well. They’ve imploded now
The “mainstream” moniker for this media is a joke
They remind me of the many small business owners we’ve read about who would rather burn their businesses down rather than saying “we welcome everybody here.”
They’re similar to small businesses in that way- self destructing rather than give up hate and bigotry but these media companies are run and owned by people who have so much dough their losses don’t bury them
They can sustain those losses only so long, though. We’ve seen encouraging changes at the LA Times and WaPo.
No reference, just observation over the years. After elections, viewership drops quite a bit, on all the political channels. 50% is definitely high, though.
Those losses will not be sustained. I didn’t say they wouldn’t. The small businesses clinging to hate in the example do close down. This crap is going to shut down which is why I said the perpetrators ought to secure affordable real estate. They’re about to retire
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW !!
Some publishers and owners are waking up to the hard truth: letting the monkey's run the zoo isn't working... (Think LA Times... Washington Post)
I tried to watch a video of an interview she was doing with a Republican woman. Joy would ask a question, then drown out the woman’s reply with her usual leftist propaganda. Then she would deride the woman for not answering the question. I don’t understand why anyone would agree to be a “guest” on her show, the woman never shuts her mouth.
