A very strong day for The Melissa Harris-Perry show with a win of both best day and best hour. Amazingly, she got the same number of tweets in both the 10am and 11am hours (I looked to make sure this wasn’t a glitch!). No one else topped 1000 in an hour; a few managed more than 3000 mentions during the day as whole.

Cable News Twitter Ratings for Friday, May 30, 2014 — Ed & Sean, together again!
Sean and Ed won best day and best hour on Friday for their respective shows.
The Rachel Maddow Show was preempted for a rebroadcast of Brian Williams’ interview with Edward Snowden. Unfortunately, there were no show hashtags or twitter user ids I could find and so it was virtually impossible to determine if there was any social media engagement. You’d think it take all of 5 minutes to invent a hashtag, publicize it on the website, and maybe even throw it on the chyron. Alas, it was not to be.
Cable News Twitter Ratings for Thursday, May 29, 2014 — The Sixties didn’t make it to #1
Well, CNN’s The Sixties got into the 700s, which was less than half what they needed to get best hour. Which is not too much of a surprise, as live (or at least recorded the same day) programs always get better Twitter engagement. It was no surprise that Chris Hayes handily won best hour, while Sean Hannity pulled in his (frequent) best day win.
Cable News Twitter Ratings for Wednesday, May 28, 2014 — Ed and Sean are back on top!
At long last, The Ed Show returns to its normal winners circle for best hour on Twitter and Sean Hannity returns to best day.
As a note, the ratings for The Last Word are undoubtedly too low as I have not added Ari Melber’s twitter id into the filter for that show, although he has now pretty much become the permanent substitute host. I will correct that this weekend for June until Lawrence returns and as long as Melber is hosting.
Cable News Twitter Ratings for Tuesday, May 27, 2014 — Fans united against Morning Joe
Good news and bad news for Morning Joe. Good news: They won best hour and best date. Bad news: They won it because people are really mad at Joe.
