Whoa…huge day for MSNBC!!!
Wow! Look at the numbers for Early Start/Starting Point! They needed that desperately. Dayside CNN was good but amazing how the ratings fell apart through primetime. The decent from Election Nights highs has begun.
Big day for MSNBC!! Beating Fox in demo?!?! Wow.
Not that FNC performed badly, but phenomenal ratings for MSNBC. Is it a post-election bounce or are they here to stay competitively?
People tuned in for the party! MSNBC will go back normal ratings soon. They basking in the glow of victory!
War on women! Anderson and Lawrence beat Greta, but will Greta have the last word?

By glancing at the numbers it looks like a lot of extra people tuen in as opposed to leaving FOX. I would guess it will fall back to normal realativly quick.
Wow. MSNBC beat FOX News in the 25-54 demo every hour except at 8 p.m. MSNBC even beat FOX News in the total day 25-54 demo. I can not remember another day that has happened.

I am guessing within a couple weeks all stations will be back to normal ratings
Fox
Bill O ~3M
Hannity and Greta > 2M
MSNBC
Ed, Rachel and Larry ~1M
CNN > 750k
RACHEL IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!
MSNBC is on Fire!!!
CNN is on Fire!!!
And somebody threw water on Hannity.
Could Fox be losing their credibility because of their election predicions?
@ Could Fox be losing their credibility because of their election predicions?
No
-CNN wins daytime Demo (25-54)
-MSNBC wins both Primetime Demos
-Most importantly, Rachel Maddow beats O’Reilly and Hannity in both Demos.
Why would anyone with a brain watch FOX?They are not a news network.They are a comedy show.They and the GOP are finished.
Rachel Maddow had the best ever breakdown about the election results that I have ever seen. If some of you Conservatives can stomach watching her, the way we stomach watching O’Reilly and Hannity, it’s really worth watching:

Nice for Maddow, Sorry I didn’t watch yesterday I couldn’t resist watching Hannity whine like a bitch.
^That’s her opening from last night’s high rated show.
@ Mark2 ,
Thanks for posting the clip.
My favorite part is from 12:52, there is a lot of wisdom in what she says.
Congrats to MSNBC, I do not like them but they did well, so credit where credit is due. Can they keep up the numbers? That has yet to be seen.
Mark, here I go being nosey again. But you work nights and post all day. How do you do it? You don’t have to answer–I know I am being nosey—- but seriously how in the heck do you do it???
Hey Sam, watch that video I posted…it’s a classic breakdown of what happened.
