ratings

Cable news ratings, October 1, 2009: Check out the highlights, and see the full ratings below:

• Glenn Beck was the #2 cable news show last night in the A25-54 demographic and total viewers (Bill O’Reilly was #1). But Beck achieved something rare – he had more demo viewers (719,000) than his 5pmET competition had total viewers. CNN had 657,000 total viewers, MSNBC 576,000 and HLN 301,000.

• The top non-FNC show last night was CNN’s Larry King Live at 9pmET in both categories. Must be the power of Jon Gosselin.

Chris Matthews: How Will The GOP Exploit Massa’s Mess?

by Drew Grant | 7:56 pm, Wednesday

video

If Eric Massa had been able to deal with the matter of his leaving office quietly, he might not have taken down half the Democratic House with him. This is just a fact. And as Chris Matthews points out on Hardball tonight, so far Republicans have been happy to watch Massa hang himself and his party by his own rope, but going forward they could use this scandal to besmirch the entire Democratic House for not addressing the problem sooner.
