You would not be saying TGIF in cable newsland if you were Alec Baldwin or Rachel Nichols last week. The actors 10 PM MSNBC show Up Late and the former ESPN reporters Unguarded on CNN both hit demo lows on November 8. With guests Cristina Tzintzun of the Workers Defense Fund and the Coalition for the Homeless Mary Brosnahan talking immigration reform and anti-poverty programs, Up Late With Alec Baldwin pulled in just 101,000 viewers among adults 25-54 on Friday.
Thats a 41% drop from the 172,000 demo results of the one-hour shows October 11 debut. While Baldwins total viewers were up to 395,000 from the 354,000 low of its November 1 show, the demo was down from that shows 130,000.

We need to be able to choose our cable channels a la CARTE...pick and choose what channels you like, and disregard the others.
This way, the failures will not be "subsidized" by viewers who do not watch the crap. :) Baldwin's show, as judged by viewership, is garbage.
But at least he got double the miles with his capital one credit card.
People can only stomach so much Obamacare BS
A la carte cable is the answer to this.
John Wayne Gacey got more people coming to his HOUSE!!!
There are a lot of bored drunks watching tv on Friday night.
I wonder if they see him and think they’re watching 30 Rock. Takes a few minutes to see if the topic they’re discussing is actually jokes or real.
You can smell the “Air America” in the air!
Who’s on next for this sinking ship of a network? Cindy Sheehan?
How?
Hey, Alex, soon they’ll be asking, “What’s in your wallet?”
Answer: Nothing!
Now go play dodge-rock.
Who?
You made me cough.
Al a carte cable is an idea the Republicans should champion and talk about. I am serious. I think it could help to start solving a myriad of problems if people chose what channels they wanted in their home.
Yep. 0/lib BS in general. By looking at their *guest* list (probably *suggested* by the White Hut), it’s obvious why no one’s watching.
Pretty soon Alec is gonna get so pissed off at MSNBC for ditching him that he is going to call them all rude thoughtless little piggies
Will not happen, because the 90% of the channels would fail like a house of cards.
Too funny! Anybody know who the advertisers are for the debacle?
Maybe not. I think Samuel L. Jackson has the "What's in Your Wallet?" gig now.
