We should probably just call the weekends “The Melissa and Steve Show”, since they get the vast majority of tweets. I’m still trying to figure out what MSNBC is doing, long term, with the 5pm time slot that Ed Schultz vacated upon his return to weekdays; today it seemed to be coverage of the memorial ceremony at the Navy Yard. Is it going to be prison, or news?
Note that all times are US Eastern Time. See notes at end for further explanations. For earlier articles on cable news twitter ratings, please see this.
