Not one, but two pieces in the New York Times today about Dylan Ratigan's transformation from CNBC stock picker to MSNBC (primarily anti-bank) crusader. Unfortunately, he's transformed MSNBC's ratings downward.
His Dylan Ratigan Show (4pm Eastern, weekdays) launched on January 11, 2010, replacing MSNBC Live in that time period.
Since then, vs. the same time period in 2009, the Dylan Ratigan Show has lost 12% of MSNBC Live's average viewership and 21% of its cable news advertiser target adults 25-54 audience.
