Nice to see CNN get some good numbers, though I suspected they would have been happier in the tank without something horrible events to spur their good fortune.
‘Up with Chris Hayes’ went down with the rest of MSNBC’s programs. MSNBC usually dominates in the demo on weekends but ended #4 in three of the four demos posted, and #3 in the other.
Oops. Two #4 and two #3.
Were it not for the Colorado theatre massacre, the cable news ratings on Saturday (July 21st) would have been significantly lower.
Thanks Mr. Sherlock….lol
The ‘lockdown family reunion’ had less time than the massacre…
The 25-54 (000s) on MSNBC therefore was lower…..
I normally would be among the last people to give MSNBC their due. But in the Saturday morning news breakout at the top of this page, Up With Chris Hayes really got 74,000 in the demo, NOT just 74 viewers. Right?
@Ralph Hahn
The note at the top stated 74,000.
@ NOT just 74 viewers
After watching him once, I would go with the 74 viewers!! (only if he has a big family)
@Apple & Ratboy: That disclaimer must have been added after I first saw the Saturday 8AM ratings earlier today.
I once joked about a former radio station in Rockefeller Center getting ratings so low that they would be better of financially if they had just turned off the transmitter and shouted to the busy people down below with a bullhorn! That station was NBC’s flagship radio station, WNBC-AM, which I think went off the air in the mid-1980s.
Again, I must beg Fox News to stop the excessive weekend repeat programming of shows and specials that run day and night, all weekend long. I think by Sunday night, I’m not surprised to see usually MSNBC beating FOX in the demo. After being on all day if there is inclement weather, I think that I can recite, word for word, Chris Wallace’s questions on “Fox News Sunday.”
I never really go to huffington post but I thought this was funny….

Even Kilmeade can’t make an interview with a 4 and 7 year old go his way…
“And your help came from?”
“Our help came from our investors, our dad and stepmom, along with other friends and family.”
@Ralph
It’s repeats just like any other entertainment show….
I’m not even 100% sure that “Global Warming” is here and that it’s man made, neither side has shown enough evidence, but either way, this is scary….

Ralph Hahn the reason FNC repeats it’s weekend programming and for that manner their weekday evening programs for example Hannity, OReilly, Greta is none other then for practical reasons. I will just make it simple. Joe and Alice are not home at 8pm so they catch Bill O. at 10pm. Pastor Bob is at church tending to the flock at 9am sunday morning so P.Bob watches Chris Wallace at 5pm. I am sure sometimes people like the program they might watch every re-run. Make sense to me
