You DID make sure to mention the part about Fox News, you know. You don't get to bring something in an article up and then tell other people it isn't relevant. At least, not without looking like you've backed yourself into a corner.

Rachel Maddow's Ratings Up 92% As MSNBC Grows Twice As Fast As Fox News
Rachel Maddow's program experienced gigantic ratings growth the first quarter of 2016 as MSNBC's primetime audience grew more than twice as fast as Fox News.

“MSNBC’s primetime programming (M-F 8-11p) delivered strong growth for the quarter. In the A25-54 demo, MSNBC was up 112%, while Fox News grew 48% over the first quarter of 2015. “The Rachel Maddow Show” edged out CNN’s regular programming in A25-54 (279,000 vs. 277,000) and topped CNN in total viewers (1,166,000 vs. 877,000).” The Rachel Maddow Show” was up 92% in A25-54 and 48% in total viewers over the first quarter of 2015.

What MSNBC did was impressive. For the first time Fox News was the most watched basic cable network in both daytime and primetime, so for MSNBC to be growing faster than the most watched network on basic cable is quite an accomplishment…………”

LOL...

Last year Fox grew 10% and MSNBC dropped 39%. I don't know the proper comparative numbers, but Fox's 48% growth vs. MSNBC's 112% is likely still more added viewer.

321,000 x 0.48 = 154,080 added viewers.

132,000 x 1.12 = 147,840 added viewers.

When you're at the bottom, it's easier to change a higher percentage.

Now it makes sense... Maddow in Q1 of 2015 had her worse quarter ratings ever, losing 46% of her 25-54 audience compared to Q1 of 2014. All Q1 of 2016 did was recover the viewers she lost last year.

If you compare her Q1 2016 audience, to her shows viewership 2 years ago in Q1 of 2014, what you find is, her show has had less than a 4% increase in viewership over the last 2 years... LMAO

Good catch planar

The times they are a changin' indeed... Right phony conservative yoda dude?

If you call them Faux, are you equally fair with something defamatory for CNN, MSNBC, etc?

The simple truth is that Fox has the best ratings because they are just about the only conservative viewpoint. Most the rest of the M$M's are liberal biased.

I don't know what they speak of today. I haven't listened to such programming for probably at least a decade. It all sickens me. When I did listen, I listened to Fox and CNN. I was always able to verify the facts of Fox, but found questionable material in CNN. I found the programs tailored to conservative or liberal by network, and the named shows like Glen Beck.. often exaggerated, or outright lies. I found the actual news itself, more accurate on Fox than any other network.

Every now and again, I see the news networks. I'm just not a regular viewer. If you think there is no liberal bias, then you are far enough to the left, that their center is the same as yours.

Today, they is still, mostly liberal bias in the networks.

Sorry, not very believable.

Glen beck was the only one I didn't like when I watched it.

Again, I don't know about today, but your lack of an explicit response says volumes.

Reminds me of the old days when a store would have a big sale after covertly raising the prices the weeks before.
 
Maddow is your typical smug, know it all, arrogant, disrespectful, obnoxious liberal elitist. It's surprising so many of her own kind can't stand her either.

For those of you with math problems here is a tip-a lower performing network can increase by a larger percentage and STILL have a lower increase in the number of people watching. For example, if Fox News averaged 483,000 viewers in the 25-54 age group after their 50% gain they picked up, at 50%, 161,000 more viewers. And if MSNBC had 231,000 after a 92% increase they added 110,000 viewers, or 50,000 less than Fox.
It is important to understand this type of math, especially in your personal finances. The more you have, the more you gain, even with small percentage increases.

The 25-to-54 age group is most important to news advertisers. In that category, Fox News averaged 483,000 viewers to CNN's 462,000 and MSNBC's 231,000. All were up: Fox News 50 percent, CNN 139 percent and MSNBC 69 percent.
