I think if MSNBC just added another show to its line up it would solitify its stake as the second most watched news program on Cable behind FOX. The problem with MSNBC is that it's 10pm hour is a repeat of Countdown. Perhaps if it had a live show at 10pm it would do better. I think they should move the ED show to the 10pm hour. Why???? because the ED show prides itself as the show that sticks up for the working man. however the hour its on (6et/3pt), a lot of people are still working! so they don't have time to watch it! I don't know tell me what you think.
