KO only 47,000 viewers shy of O' Reilly

[RamboLiberal]

in the key demo Monday night. BillO had 413 and KO 366. O' Reilly must be shitting himself. I'm betting KO may well bypass O' Reilly next year.

Also MSNBC is starting to beat CNN!

First MSNBC beat CNN in primetime in the 25-54 demographic on Monday. Then it happened again on Wednesday. Then it happened again on Thursday. (And on Friday, MSNBC was 4,000 demo viewers shy of CNN.) Then it happened again on Saturday. And, just to rub it in, it happened again on Sunday.

Is it an aberration, or is it a trend? One thing's for sure: it's a morale booster for MSNBC. The perenially third-place cable news net beat CNN in the demo in primetime three of out of five weekdays, and five out of seven days, last week.

Yes, MSNBC's wins were slight -- CNN was usually within a few thousand demo viewers of MS in primetime. But the mere fact that Countdown, Scarborough Country and the Doc Block are competing against Paula Zahn, Larry King and Anderson Cooper must be striking fear into the hearts of CNN Center and Time Warner Center.

> Also: MSNBC beat CNN in the demo in total day on Friday. That hasn't happened on a weekday since March...

1. I love it....

That psycho O'Liely is probably one breakdown away from a straight jacket.

2. That's only about one Monster Truck Rally's difference...

3. Anyone know how many cable providers provide Faux and not MSNBC?

I've heard plenty of DU'ers say they don't get MSNBC. Taking that ratio in to account Countdown is already blowing the doors off of O'Really's show.

5. On Dish Satellite, you have to have at least their second tier of programming to get MS-NBC.

I don't know if you can get Fox on lower tiers or not. I never watch them, so am not aware.
