“‘The Beat’ is MSNBC’s *most-watched* show for the month of January, averaging over 1.3 million viewers per night…”

… More viewers than any MSNBC or CNN “primetime show; a first.”

1. Well...

... CONGRATULATIONS!

2. Sometimes his legal background makes his commentary particularly interesting.

For me--and apparently for many others--January was one of those times.

I still prefer Rachel, but man, I wish there were more Mondays in a week.

3. Rachel is the best but she only has one night now

I like The Beat

4. Very smart man. His obsession with music sometimes annoys me.

5. I Hear Ya On The Music Thing... Makes Me Feel Even Older, But...

He's got a whole lot of the Hip-Hop scene, and Music Scene in general, watching MSNBC.

That's more dissemination of political knowledge and more educated voters in disaffected/under-represented communities.

To quote Huey Lewis, he's making it, "Hip To Be Square".

6. I can't stand him

I prefer Nicolle Wallace.

7. Ari does a lot of good stuff on his show, but don't forget ...

... he also gets a nice audience lead-in from Nicolle Wallace's Deadline: White House show.

8. I like him. He's interesting and understandable.

I also like Ali Velshi and there are a few "second stringers" who are pretty good.

Of course, you can't beat Rachel but we have what we have.
