Cable News Ratings for 2013-09-13…
Happy Friday the 13th!
It was Gretchen Carlson’s last day on Fox and Friends, with Elisabeth Hasselbeck coming in to replace Gretchen on Monday. But even Gretchen’s departure couldn’t stir the tweets of the needs a second cup of coffee crowd on Fox. Morning Joe, whose audience presumably has faithfully visited their Starbucks barista early in the morning, was able to get much higher engagement from Twitter.
CNN’s new Crossfire seems to have done pretty well, especially when you include mentions of any of the 4 hosts’ accounts.
But the champs of the day, as frequently the case, are MSNBC’s Ed Schultz with the most mentions during a show, and CNN’s Piers Morgan, with the most mentions overall during the day. I really think the two of them would make an awesome reboot of “the odd couple”.
One can only imagine the ratings bonanza Ed would bring MSNBC if they gave his show a second play in the overnight repeats. Seems like a second Lawrence isn’t needed, given that his 10pm ET slot is comfortably in PT prime time hours. How about dropping Ed in 1am for a west coast viewing? I was out in LA this week, and having Ed come on at 2pm is useless there. The only time I got to see him was on the flight back east on the satellite TV while stuck in the back of the plane…
Anyway, to the stats:
