Cable Rating Show FNC Up, CNN Down and MSNBC With a Lifeline

Ratings

It looks like CNN's axing of Piers Morgan Live, which lost around have of its audience from the same time last year, won't help the rest of CNN's primetime lineup.  Anderson Cooper at 8PM dropped 47% in overall audience and Erin Burnett's Outfront dropped 39%. If CNN is all about "attitude and take" obviously viewers aren't buying.  At the same time, FNC is seeing a ratings increase The O'Reilly Factor is still ahead of the pack and jumped 3% in overall audience and The Kelly File increased by 23%  in overall audience.  Over at MSNBC, The Rachel Maddow Show is the top draw, but the show's overall audience is flat, while Hardball with Chris Matthews was up 24% in overall audience.  Rating comparisons are from February to February.

'Game of Thrones' Season 4 Is King

Image
Ratings At 9PM on April 6, a total of 6.6 million viewers (including us) were watching the often bloody and grisly "Game Of Thrones" season 4 premiere. This was GoT's most-watched episode  to date, and the most-watched episode of any HBO series since 2007. Season four of GoT was up 52% from season three's premiere. Another 1.6 million viewers watched the show at 11PM and 1AM. Bringing the Nielsen's ratings up to 8.2 million. HBO GO (where our members were able to get caught up) is expected to drive the numbers even higher. As we've stated before, we just wish GoT would pick up the pace just a little bit.

Looks Like Kerry Washington Couldn't Fix SNL

Image
Reviews for Kerry Washington's appearance on SNL , considering Saturday Night Live was dealing with a very public issue concerning the lack of black females on the show, seems to have focused the diversity problem (like a laser) on the writing staff as well. Could diversity among the writing staff be the issue, too?
