MSNBC registered its lowest full-day rating in nearly a decade on Tuesday, a devastatingly low benchmark that shows just how severe the network's decline has become.

The liberal cable news network drew an average of 55,000 viewers in the all-important 25-to-54 year-old demo on Tuesday, its lowest full-day rating since July 2005, according to Nielsen ratings provided by an industry source. CNN had nearly three times as many viewers in the demo; Fox News nearly five times as many.

That low reflects a more general decline in recent years.

The only reason it still exists is because of the money it gets per cable/satellite subscriber

The folks at MSNBC are reaching their target audience, each other.

Since the size of the audience could fit into one venue, they should just stop broadcasting and instead, rent out a high school auditorium and produce an MSNBC live show.

If I were in charge of programming I would switch to Youtube cat videos: lower costs, higher ratings.

55,000? You could get that many viewers for cats sleeping.

That’s why the cable and phone companies don’t want to give you a choice. If the FCC will declare them common carriers, I can launch CatVision and put MSNBC out of business.

Well whose idea was it to make a smirking, biased, sarcastic, unattractive bull-dyke the primary face of their alleged “news station”???

That’s the guy they need to fire

...an average of 55,000 viewers in the all-important 25-to-54 year-old demo on Tuesday

Advertisers: That's 1100 viewers per state. And chances are that only 200 or so of them have an income that will allow them to buy your product. And don't even think of trying to sell them hygiene products, cars or fast food.

“Ronan Farrow’s show, which debuted last year and has received dismal ratings ever since, is one program that is widely believed to be up for removal. On Tuesday, it brought in just 11,000 viewers in the demo.”

Like one guy said below, liberalism has to be imposed.

Ronan Farrow’s program brought in just 11,000. hmmm that is getting down to the bottom of the barrel so to speak.
