Wow…MSNBC beat Fox News on all four 25-54 demos.
Hey Steve did you notice that you didn’t add the Fox Business in with your calculation? Sorry but Fox Networks beats all the others since they’re all the same conglomerate and they beat them by tens of millions. Furethermore the trend over a 10 year period shows what? Fox is gaining viewers and all the others well, are losing. Maybe its what they choose to report.
@Chuck
They don’t add Fox Business to FNC nor do they add CNBC to MSNBC. It’s a rare weekend sweep for MSNBC. Give them their just congrats. It’s not very often they sweep the weekend & get clobbered during the week.
It’s nice to see that MSNBC had their specials on sex, prison and crime again. Sex sells and it’s old home week for others.
Maybe MSNBC can pick up “Dog, The Bounty Hunter” now that he has been canned because of his racial outbursts. He would fit right in on MSNBC.
I say more screen time for Donny Deutsch!
@Hillbilly: >>> It’s a rare weekend sweep for MSNBC. <<<
Well, MSNBC'S 1,000 person, 25-54 victory over FNC during the Saturday daytime could hardly be a victory when Fox's P+2 numbers are TWICE as much as MSNBC's P+2s.
A CNN case in point. Donald Trump is not a candidate for President! But CNN keeps his ridiculous birther statements alive! No one cares what Donal Trump says or that he is on a stage with Romney. Trump is not on the ticket. Let it go
@Chuck
You’re a knucklehead and you’re way out of your league, so crawl back in your hole.
@ Ed
Reminds me of how MSNBC wouldn’t let Sarah Palin go off the air after the ’08 election. They kept her alive and public interest #1 as if she was still running. They didn’t care about Biden’s silly comments, or John Edwards’ life style. But figured Sarah Palin was worthy of ridicule every night.
