Rachel Maddow Crushes Fox News As Viewers Stampede To MSNBC After GOP Health Care Fail

Rachel Maddow finished as the number one show on cable news, and MSNBC was the top network on cable news after the Republican health care bill failed in the House.

On Friday after the health care bill failed, more viewers watched Rachel Maddow (3.058 million) then watched Bill O’Reilly on Fox News (2.363 million). MSNBC’s The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell (2.328 million) drew more viewers than Fox’s Sean Hannity (2.235 million). The only MSNBC program that did worse than Fox News primetime was Chris Hayes, but All In still drew 2.154 million viewers.

MSNBC has been on an incredible ratings roll since Donald Trump took office. According to an MSNBC statement provided to PoliticusUSA, “The Rachel Maddow Show at 9pm finished March 2017 as the #1 cable news show in the key A25-54 demo in the M-F 9-10pm time period. This marks the first time MSNBC has been #1 in the A25-54 demo during that time period ever, and the first time in almost five years since MSNBC beat FOX News in the demo in any hour for the month (previous was “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” in December 2012). “The Rachel Maddow Show” and MSNBC had its best total viewer delivery in the time period ever in the show’s eight-and-a-half years or network’s 20-year history and the best A25-54 delivery since November 2008. “The Rachel Maddow Show’s” total audience was up +106% over March 2016, while CNN was flat (+3%) and FOX News was up +11%. In the A25-54 demo, “The Rachel Maddow Show” grew +103% year-over-year, besting CNN (+14%) – attaining its biggest lead over CNN since February 2014 – and FOX News (+18%). For the first quarter of 2017, “The Rachel Maddow Show” beat CNN in both total viewers and A25-54. The show delivered its best total viewer delivery ever and best A25-54 delivery in the time period since 4Q08.”..........................................

1. This makes me wonder about Greta's ratings. I know she's not primetime, but I still can't figure...

why MSNBC went that way when they already have Joy Reid on the payroll.

2. ya know, i used to be the family weirdo,

all wrapped up in that silly politics shit.
i have been sharing her on fb for the last several months.
i am no longer alone. in fact, little sister got so woke by that asshole that she got herself elected a precinct captain in a deep red area.
2 sisters in floriduh watching w their teeth chattering.

lots of folks woke right now thanks to the rachel.

4. CONGRATS Rachel!!!!! I've listened/watched her since Air America days, and everybody I recommended

watch her show has been hooked! IMHO MSNBC has a way to go to reach the top, and their most recent acquisition (Greta) was a big mistake. Still not sure why they hired Brian Williams or what in the world his job there is?

I will say, I prefer MSNBC over CNN & FOX was never considered.

Do you remember the last time MSNBC was tops in ratings? It was when everyone HATED Shrub. Shortly after he snagged (not won) re-election. It seems when Dems are angry with the occupant of the WH, they turn to MSNBC for support.
