MSNBC’s reliably liberal audience has tuned out the anti-Trump network since Election Day with a staggering 54% drop in primetime viewership.
MSNBC averaged 1.1 million viewers during the month of October but plummeted to an average audience of 736,000 on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week following President-elect Donald Trump’s historic landslide victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. MSNBC’s remarkable 31% drop comes as Fox News Channel’s viewership grew by 61% over the same time period.
MSNBC also shed 26% of its year-to-date totals, but things got even worse in primetime.
During the primetime hours of 8-11 p.m. ET, MSNBC averaged 1.8 million total viewers in October but viewership of "Alex Wagner Tonight," "All in with Chris Hayes" and "The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell" have averaged only 808,000 total viewers since election night. The 54% drop represents more than half of the network’s primetime viewers, and MSNBC is also down 51% from its year-to-date totals while Fox News is up 58% in primetime compared to 2024 averages.
You miss one point.
All the talking heads of whatever network have most of this Democrat blaming all wrong.
I just turn the news off now. Don't need to hear people who should know better (like Van Jones) rip the Democrats.
And idiots like Bill Maher who's spent the last year ripping on Democrats, then goes ahead and votes with us, then wonders why we failed.
Of course, I'd be happy if all white people stopped talking for a week.
About the only one who knows what she's talking about lately is Elizabeth Warren.
@Suzianne saidHahahahahaha! 😆

@Earl-of-Trumps saidFar worse for CNN. They have less than 800,000 viewers now, compared to over 7 million a couple years ago.
@Cliff-Mashburn
The same thing happened to CNN. Now getting 1/2 the audience, post election
@Earl-of-Trumps saidThat's Trump's baggage.
@Suzianne - About the only one who knows what she's talking about lately is Elizabeth Warren.
lol you mean, Liah-Watha? You really know how to pick'em, Suzie
Why aren't we lambasting him for that?
Alongside that, why does it not matter to you people that Trump and his transition team are breaking the law?
@Earl-of-Trumps saidOnly cause people are turning it off.

We're tired of hearing how Republicans' failure is blamed on Democrats.
Anything to say about Trump's pick of a pedophile as his AG?
