Tuesday Rachel Held Almost All KO's Audience

[RamboLiberal]

Countdown had 555,000 - Rachel had 548,000. That's what Net Execs look at. She lost to King but not by much. King had 564,000(corrected on edit)in the key demo of 25-54. King was covering Palin.

3. Excellent!

Larry is old and stale. Rachel is new and fresh, and 10 times smarter!

Watch King start losing audience to her.... :D

4. Great news

It helps demonstrate that the Countdown audience will turn out to get a specific point of view, and not just for Keith.

5. I'm sure it will hold, unless the broadcast channels actually air a GOOD

new primetime show! I don't have many prime time TV shows I really WANT to watch! The last one during the week was West Wing!

6. 4:30 is too early for dinner and 7:30 is too late (for some of us)

The downside of the KO/RM programs is that I have to figure out what to make for dinner that can be done during commercial breaks. Then we get to eat watching TV! Well it's probamatic on the West Coast. Dinner may account for the loss of a few views for the second hour.

8. Watch on line at your convenience!

Videos of the shows are up within two hours of airing, or even sooner.

7. Rachel has a very good show.

It's completely different than Countdown, and Rachel has a very engaging personality. I think this show will be a success for MSNBC.

And I will tell you this: Keith and Rachel are the ONLY reasons MSNBC is EVER on in my home. I do not watch Joe, can't stand Chris, and I find most of their other "personalities" annoying.

And I have taken time to let advertisers know I appreciate their ads on Keith's show, and that I support them because of it. I will do the same for Rachel. Yes, it does make a difference since so few people really let advertisers know.

9. tell me you don't appreciate Quixtar ads

that company is nothing more than an elaborate pyramid scheme.
