Do we have any idea what kind of ratings Rachel Maddow pulls in?

[musicblind]

Or is it too soon?

I hope the ratings are HUGE!

I only ask because I want her to cover this whole general election!

1. Media Bistro's TV Newser

...has cable news ratings, both for overall and the 25-54 age group.

She came in 3rd in both categories last night:

7. Almost 3 times what Gregory or Beck get and

more than Blitzer, Dobbs, or Brown. (overall viewers) and damn close to larry.

2. Last week, I believe she was holding on to almost all of Olbermann's ratings.

One day, she beat him.

Countdown is the biggest show on MSNBC.

Rachel was also beating Larry King Live last week.

3. Cable news ratings are actually pretty low. nt

[high density]

4. She's holding onto most of Countdown's audience

so MSNBC is probably pleased with that.

5. She is fantastic!

Smart, knowledgable, funny and articulate. Rachel could easily run Hewlett Packard!

6. agreed

8. Rachel is awesome!

But now instead of ignoring that Dan guy, I'm committed to another hour of TV viewing each night, darn it.

Wish the economy would improve enough for me to get TiVo.
