Rachel Maddow and MSNBC don’t give Trump and his administration a platform for their lies, and viewers have responded by making them number one.

According to Neilson numbers provided to PoliticusUSA by MSNBC:

MSNBC capped off its 3rd consecutive record ratings year as the #1 cable news network in prime (M-F 8-11pm) for December, according to Nielsen. December to-date (11/26-12/17), MSNBC prime was #1 in both A25-54 and total viewers. December marked the 1st month ever in which MSNBC prime beat both FOX News and CNN in A25-54 and total viewers, averaging 438K viewers A25-54 (vs. CNN’s 362K and FOX News’ 407K) and 2.51M total viewers (vs. CNN’s 1.3M and FOX News’ 2.47M). “The Rachel Maddow Show” at 9 pm was the #1 show across all cable news for December, averaging 573K viewers A25-54 (vs. CNN’s 375K and FOX News’ 424K) and 3.1M total viewers (vs. CNN’s 1.3M and FOX News’ 2.7M). “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” at 10 pm and “The 11th Hour with Brian Williams” at 11 pm also won their hours in both A25-54 and total viewers.

The reason Fox News can do well for total daily viewers relative to prime time viewers is the nature of their audience. They're basically a channel for elderly shut-ins. Their median viewer is 65 years old. They're also popular in parts of the country known for having low labor force participation rates. The lowest labor participation is in WV, MS, AL, AR, and KY, which are all arch-conservative states. That is a lot of couch potatoes Fox News can pull from in compiling a large daily viewer total. By comparison, if your niche is people who work for a living, you may be able to put together decent prime-time numbers, but daytime is going to be a ghost town.

You think MSNBC gets poor day time ratings because all its viewers work? I had to fall out of my chair on that one.

Educated working liberals are far more likely to watch PBS than they are MSNBC.

I mean if you really want to be elitist only poors (and Trump) watch cable news. It's all trash.

I do? What makes you believe that? I never implied in any way that all of MSNBC's viewers work. I'm just pointing out that the more your demographic lines up with the "peak working years" age group, and the less you rely on appealing to low-labor-force-utilization communities like West Virginia, the higher your primetime/daytime viewership ratio is likely to be. A network for ancient couch potatoes, like Fox News, is going to be hard to beat for total daily viewership, because of that.

How about this then. We know from statistics that there are a decent number of women who don't work or work part-time for many reasons. As such television during the day is geared towards them The View, Ellen, Oprah etc. Polling tells us a majority of women vote Democratic. Based on that that offers MSNBC a higher daytime viewership. Of course one would need to read more into the numbers to know the political leanings of those who women are home during the day but on the surface...

Regardless, viewing numbers of the cable news stations tell us nothing positive.

I want to add to ONELI's observations.

Everyone leaves out the BIGGIE!!!! Most people DON'T KNOW! No one told me, I figured it out over time myself. If the Right knew, while they were BEATING THEIR CHESTS ABOUT FIX's RATINGS, they DIDN'T tell us!! You can bet your ass Roger Aisles knew.

I DIDN'T get cable till 1996. When we started it up we literally got the LOWEST package. I called it the "antenna" package. We could finally SEE the local BROADCAST channels, PBS and they threw in the 2 CSpan channels, House and Senate. Maybe HLN (remember that?) (I think the JESUS channel came in on that package with the slick southern men of God begging for $$ and the woman whose toxins from PINK hair dye must have permeated her brain).

2 years later I went up a level and we got FAUX NEWS and CNN with the new entertainment and sports channels. Then over time, the next level, and then the next. MSNBC DIDN'T COME ON UNTIL we were at about level 4 or 5 AND the bill went up another $50 or so a month.

Do you think it was JUST my cable provider whose marketing model decided EDUCATED LIBERALS would pay more? I'm sure this was a well keep secret until even LIBERALS said, we can go other ways, fuck you! And MSNBC started coming in on lower packages.

Maybe other municipalities made the cable providers include all news or none? I highly doubt it. FOX, by my guess, had AT LEAST a 10-12 year jump on the market to shape and roil the "uneducated" of the American electorate.

The implications were FAR reaching. Think about it--they have now 'PICKED' 2 presidents.

It was a bit hyperbolic but the facts ARE their AVERAGE demographic is a 66 year old white male and depending on WHICH show, 'under educated'! (It was 67 years old until the past couple of years). OReilly, sadly, had the most educated white male viewers though, they too were in their 60's.

Do you REALLY think all those tight dress bare armed NEWSMODELS are there to appeal to WOMEN? Give us all a fucking break!!
