Weekend Ratings…

It’s a slow news day so far so here are last weekend’s numbers. MSNBC’s live news expansion so far has not caused people to switch over from HLN even though what’s presented on MSNBC from 12-4 on weekends is far more dynamic and interesting than anything canned HLN can churn out during that time.

Saturday

FNC 848,000
CNN 465,000
HLN 239,000
MSNBC 228,000

Total Day P25-54

  1. Has anyone come up with a logical answer to why MSNBC consistently comes in third and fouth place?

  2. Skippy: Reputation.

  3. Reputation is part but in terms of competing head to head with HLN, I think HLN is carried on more cable systems because it was there before MSNBC.

  4. Hey Dude… where do you think that reputation comes from?

  5. LOL that is SO pathetic that a repeat of the same news over and over and over and over and over again (on HLN) beats fresh daytime programming on MSNBC. Pathetic.

  6. Sad but true. They just can’t get out of the basement.
