With two weeks under her TV belt, Rachel Maddow has become a bonafide hit for MSNBC. Last week the program was #2 in cable news in both the A25-54 demo and in Total Viewers at 9pmET, beating CNN's Larry King Live. FNC's Hannity & Colmes was the top-rated broadcast at 9pmET. On Friday, Maddow's was the #1 show in the demo at 9pmET topping a Hannity-less H&C.
Last Tuesday and Thursday, Maddow's program was the #1 show on MSNBC.
In the two weeks since Maddow took over the 9pmET slot, the program's nine shows have averaged 556,000 demo viewers and 1.6M Total Viewers. Maddow's averages are more than double the final two weeks (eight shows) of Verdict with Dan Abrams (225,000 demo / 601,000 Total Viewers.)
Send him a couple of cartons of Camels.
Freak shows always attract an audience at first. After a while the oddity wears off.
GE tanking even after being put on no short list.
If only Oberman had that time slot, he’s beat the pants off her. (yeah, right)
Not sure why anybody’s happy about this. Larger audiences for another far left MSNBC host is nothing to celebrate.
We need to get ratings up for more balanced or conservative hosts
She makes me ill. But then, I change the channel quickly and the pain goes away.
My theory: Every LBG in the country when polled says they watch Rachel.
I have tried to watch it and can’t get past 10 minutes of it. She talks out of the side of her mouth and looks like a feminine version of a guy.
Her show is absolutely hideous. It’s Olberdork on testosterone.
The rating can’t hold
There must be a LOT more GAY people that want to watch one of their own say awful things but with a smile.
She is still more macho than Olberdork.
Who is this Maddow guy? He doesn’t seem to be as moonbatty as Olberdung.
Take a baseball analogy... The Tampa Bay Devil Rays have been in 1st all year... If the Sox overtake them (not likely) and the Blue Jays come in 2nd, would they be crushed? Would you laugh at them? Would the world see them as losers?
Olbermann is a disgusting pig... A liar, a charlatan... however, he HIT the cover off the ball, attracting around a million lefties a night... He FAR exceeded their expectations, and crushed his predecessors in that slot...
Nope, he's their rising star... Now there are 2 of them slimeballs.
I hear that the CIA uses the Maddow show during interrogations, finding it more effective than waterboarding in breaking terrorists.
He's one of the older cowboys in the mob that hung Clint Eastwood by mistake in the movie, “Hang’em High”.
Damn, s/he has a better jaw line than I do.
Are they tuning in to watch her, or Pat Buchanan make fun of her?
As they say in championship poker-”she’s got the nuts.”
