MSNBC's 'The Cycle' Hits Series Low Before Its One Year Anniversary

[apples and oranges]

Wednesday, MSNBC's 3PM program, The Cycle, hit an all-time low in Adults 25-54, with just 34,000 viewers in the key news demographic. Nielsen designates fewer than 50,000 viewers in the demo as a scratch.

It was also The Cycle's fourth-lowest episode among Total Viewers (233,000). The Cycle will celebrate its first anniversary on June 25.

1. Maybe they'll get rid of S.E. Cupp

Fox news can probably find a time slot for her.

2. They're too cute by half

and just rehash stuff that's been discussed already by every other host that precedes them.

They add nothing new or interesting..

eliminate their show.. give Alex Wagner 2 hours

4. It reminds me of children playing dress up... even though I generally like all but SE Cupp

and could readily watch at least a couple of them on other shows....

I agree though: this show is definitely "too cute by half", rendering it pretty

[Fantastic Anarchist]

9. Wagner is good ....

... and I like the Cycle sans S.E. Cupp.

But you're right, they don't add anything new and interesting ala Chris Hayes. Pity.

14. Or Give Tamron Hall and Alex Wagner a two or three hour show

Move Andrea whatsherface to noon and let Tamron and Alex have a solid block until Martin Bashir comes on.

I find The Cycle unwatchable.

15. simulcast the Ed Schultz radio show

3. This is 12:00 Pacific

Who watches TV at that time?

[SoCalDem]

5. Not many, apparently

[rastaone]

6. Replace Cupp with Finney

and kick Torree out of the world. The man is totally useless in the news commentary arena

[Tx4obama]

10. Karen Finney has her own new show on Saturdays/Sundays - comes on right before The Ed Show. n/t

7. They have some good personalities (Sippy excluded) but the format of the show is boring.

And also, half the time it seems like the show is hosted by Sippy with 3 guest hosts as she typically gets much more speaking time than the other panelists.

[NightWatcher]

8. Viewers don't care about hip, young, cute newsreaders

People want Cronkite, Rather, Brokaw giving them news. Nobody wants "cute" news aside from a few faux snooze morons

[Tom Ripley]

11. It's JFK, Jr's old George magazine for people who can't be bothered with reading

A terrible idea then, an even worse idea now

[JI7]

12. i really hate shows like this

[sad-cafe]

13. I only catch the last little bit before Martin but I don't much care for it

Especially the girl with the glasses.

[Blue Owl]

16. The Treacle
