Cable News Ratings for Obama Primetime News Confrence

During the primetime coverage on NBC, ABC, CBS, all averaged 6 million viewers each with NBC making a slight lead. Now what about Cable news? Fox News: 2,626,000. CNN: 2,176,000. MSNBC: 1,780,000. However the analysis part of each network changed. Fox aired a special edition of the O'Reilly Factor with a viewership of 3,392,000. CNN dropped with a special edition of a report card type show with 1,641,000. MSNBC aired Countdown and recieved 1,334,000. Hannity (FNC) got 2,566,000. MSNBC aired Rachel Maddow and she edged CNN. Maddow got 1,112,000 while CNN dropped BIG to 922,000. BUT the big SURPRISE is CNBC! I wonder what happened???? During the Obama press conference CNBC total viewership was a mere 243,000. BUT the show "On the Money" which aired at 10pm BEAT CNN with 1,049,000. That pretty good for CNBC if you asked me :) So ratings wise, people say that MSNBC would have more viewers if they had hosts who were less partian. That would be good but in recent ratings, MSNBC has had good numbers, in the analysis portion of the networks coverage. It would be nice if MSNBC was more towards the middle, but I think the network is fine where it currently is. BUT it should consider advertising the network more.
