MSNBC drew its biggest total day audience ever in the third quarter of 2016, averaging 676,000 viewers. The network grew 80 percent in total day viewers and grew 83 percent in the key news demo from Q3 of 2015. MSNBC also edged CNN in Monday-Friday prime time viewers, by just .6 percent: 1,224,000 to 1,216,000. The network was up 96 percent in total prime time viewers, and improved 112 percent in the demo in prime time.
The ratings for Q3, 2016 (Nielsen Live + Same Day data):
Prime time (Mon-Sun): 1,224,000 total viewers / 297,000 A25-54
Total Day (Mon-Sun): 676,000 total viewers / 168,000 A25-54
Four programs stood out for MSNBC this past quarter: Morning Joe, The Rachel Maddow Show, AM Joy, and the limited-run show The 11th Hour with Brian Williams.
Maddow beat Anderson Cooper 360 (at 9 p.m.) in total viewers and the demo for the third straight quarter.
Morning Joe gave the 6-9 a.m. time periods biggest total viewer audience in the MSNBCs 20-year history, breaking the record for the third consecutive quarter. Joe topped CNN in total viewers for the 6th consecutive quarter and won its third straight quarter in the A25-54 demo.
Airing on the weekends from 10 a.m. 12 p.m., AM Joy delivered the time periods biggest total viewer audience since the 1st quarter of 2003 and biggest A25-54 audience since Q4 2012.
The 11th Hour, which debuted on September 6th, is leading CNN Tonight in total viewers (but not in the A25-54 demo). The program has given a significant year-over-year boost to MSNBC, posting a total viewer gain of 141 percent from the networks 11-11:30 p.m. performance in September 2015.

(3,855 posts)When you get ratings this big, you get noticed by the executives who want to sell ads. Anyway, I think that's how it works.
Same here! I would LOVE to see her back on Monday through Friday. Any daypart except overnights. Prime time would be fabulous, and she'd only get better and gain clout. I suspect the reason she was tapped for the Chris Matthews panel following the Williams/Maddow debate coverage was that there's been substantial favorable viewer reaction to her.
Notice that more of her colleagues and some of those on CNN are now STOPPING the CON motormouths mid-sentence when they spew nonsense or deliberate lies. More of them now get checked, at least modestly, when they butt in on somebody else's time, than before she came back on and was a ballsy interviewer who didn't let anybody get away with anything.

(3,855 posts)She is in command of HER show, and she never lets some spin-meister get the last word in on her with a rehearsed sound bite full of bullshit truthiness.
