Cable news ratings, February 18, 2010: Check out the highlights, and see the full ratings below:

• Rachel Maddow visited CPAC Thursday, and her 9pmET MSNBC program, which was based largely around her experience, was the top non-FNC show in total viewers and the A25-54 demographic. The top show overall was, again, Bill O’Reilly‘s.

• Will CNN go the entire week as the fifth ranked cable news network in the demo during prime time, behind even CNBC? It was night #4 Thursday night – and in total viewers as well. For the first time all week, Larry King‘s show, featuring a Floyd Landis exclusive, was the lowest in the demo.

Good for Rachel, I guess. I watched a little of her CPAC coverage last night and wondered why she would make a big deal out of all the different pamphlets people were giving out at their booths. Made no sense to me for her to make an issue of that, so I switched the channel.

“The top show overall was, again, Bill O’Reilly’s.”

Goes without saying.

TfT I believe she was making a point of what the titles were. I don’t watch her but I did see a clip some place where she was naming the phamplets and bumper stickers. I don’t want to get personal here but why do you even try to watch her if you don’t like her. I love her but I find her show rather boring most of the time. She does her home work but the show just drags for me.

Am I the only one who thinks it’s funny that they have to say Non-Fox show? I guess her being 5th or 6th wouldn’t make as good of a headline.

Congratulations, Rachel, for leading the non-cult news category.
