Alec Baldwin’s MSNBC Show Falls To New Low, CNN’s ‘Unguarded’ Takes A Hit

You would not be saying TGIF in cable newsland if you were Alec Baldwin or Rachel Nichols last week. The actor’s 10 PM MSNBC show Up Late and the former ESPN reporter’s 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.

That’s a 41% drop from the 172,000 demo results of the one-hour show’s October 11 debut. While Baldwin’s total viewers were up to 395,000 from the 354,000 low of its November 1 show, the demo was down from that show’s 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."


"A la carte channel selction? Gee, you'd have to go to the other cable company for that...oh wait, there is no other cable company, I guess you'll just have to stick with bundled channels...gee..."

90% of the channels would fail

Like the BET network, and that would be racist.

They should have Baldwin and Coulter. Make it like a Hannity and Colmes.

It would be fun watching Baldwin crawl into the fetal position week after week.

Al a carte cable is an idea the Republicans should champion and talk about. I am serious.

Yeah, because we need Congress to get involved with deciding which TV channels we get. Jeez, is there anything government shouldn't be involved in?

I wonder how many people would pay to see Alec get the snot smacked out of him. Maybe he needs to become an on the air punching bag. I bet the ratings would soar.

At least we now know that there are exactly 394,000 people without brains.

He should have just done a reality show. They could have shown him beating his pretty wife and calling his little girl a slut.

True.

But it'd be over too fast, like Cassius Clay vs. Sonny Liston.

You'd have to match Baldwin up against a really dumb conservative to make it fair, and I don't think there are any that dumb.

The closest thing to a la carte pricing is Roku. If you can afford $10 per month, get The Blaze.

Oh please, like they already aren’t involved with tv regulations. All I am talking about is freedom to choose. The conservatives should champion it because it would benefit us in the long run. No one is talking about telling people what channels they can watch, just the freedom to choose those channels.
