MSNBCâs revamped primetime and weekend programming is already faltering, with dismal ratings, sharp audience drop-offs, and a primetime collapse from one of the networkâs most promoted new faces. What was meant to signal a new chapter beyond Rachel Maddowâs dominance has instead exposed serious trouble.
In a bid to reshape its identity amid changing leadership and a shifting cable news landscape, MSNBC launched several new shows:
The Weekend,
The Weekend: Primetime, and
The Weeknight. But if the early ratings are any indication, viewers are not impressed.

But the real implosion came at 9 p.m. ETâformerly Rachel Maddowâs territory. Psakiâs highly anticipated prime-time debut on Tuesday initially brought in 1.2 million viewers and 139,000 in the demo. But by the very next night, according to
Fox News, those numbers cratered to just over one million viewers and a dismal 65,000 in the demo. Thatâs a 53% collapse in just 24 hours.

The larger picture looks just as grim. Across its primetime block, MSNBC averaged just over 1 million total viewers and 88,000 in the demo last weekâdown 14% and 12%, respectively. Those numbers come despite heavy promotion, fresh formats, and high-profile hosts.

The programming shake-up also included cancelling shows hosted by Joy Reid and Alex Wagner, signaling a clear bet on new blood. But if the ratings donât recover soon, MSNBC may find itself scrambling for yet another reset.
For now, the numbers speak loudest: the relaunch isnât just off to a slow startâitâs a warning siren echoing across 30 Rock.
Commentary:
Even the hardcore liberals who watch MSNBC saw Psaki's show one time, and decided they couldnât take it again.
So much for her having any sort of gravitas, so to speak. Nobody wants to watch her. Thatâs got to hurt her ego.....
Then there's the Maddow Show. We all know Marxist Democrats love her because she tells them the most extraordinary comforting lies and confirms their false beliefs.
Just for shits and grins, MSNBC should give a 1 hour show to a Conservative figure at the worst possible time slot just to see how well that show does in comparison. That show would probably bring in enough revenue to fund all the rest.
Maybe I should've kept that idea to myself. You never know who's lurking.
