MSNBC's strange re-broadcasting schedule

[Donnachaidh]

WHY is Tweety's show shown *3* times in an evening? Ed Schultz's show is repeated at *3 AM* in my area, and Dylan Ratigan is NOT repeated at all?

I'm very grateful that Rachel is re-broadcast, and KO -- but do we need the shrill brown-nosing of Tweety *3* times during the day? Why can't Ed and Dylan get two of those slots, and re-broadcast Tweety in the 3 am slot?

Dylan and Ed have been doing far more investigative stuff that Tweety. I personally think their ratings would go up if they cut back on the shrill one.

1. Sounds like it's time for an email to MSNBC

2. What they should do, really.

Is just start the afternoon/evening (depending on your timezone) block at 3:00 Pacific/6:00 Eastern. Tweety and Ed could argue over who goes first, but I say leave it as it is now. Ed, followed by Tweety, then Keith, then Rachel. And then repeat the whole block again at 7:00/10:00. Do away with the 2:00/5:00 airing of Hardball completely. Replace it with the Dylan Ratigan rerun, or a news block, or whatever.

3. Sounds good to me

Hardball is a waste of airtime. IMO.

4. It's about ratings, Hardball has been more succesful

with increasing overall viewers and the target demo. While Olberman lost total viewers by -6% his demo ratings sank like a stone in both time slots(-24%, -11%), Maddow increased her total viewers by 7% but her demo was(-3%, +3%)so breaking even.

From May 2010.

5. Why they even play Tweety or Morningbagger is beyond me

Tweety about half the time makes little sense.
