Cable News Ratings Thursday April 7: Joy Reid Leads MSNBC in the Demo, Maddow Show in Fifth Place

Mediaite StaffApr 8th, 2022, 4:41 pm
 

MSNBC’s prime time line-up went through a major ratings shake-up on Thursday night as Joy Reid snagged the top spot on the network in the key 25-54 age demographic.

Reid brought in 166,000 demo viewers, which was enough to edge out Stephanie Ruhle’s 157,000 demo viewers for first place on the network.

The Beat with Ari Melber landed in third in the demo with 153,000 viewers, while Chris Hayes came in fourth with 152,000 demo viewers.

Meanwhile, the once-dominant Rachel Maddow Show, which was guest-hosted by Ali Velshi, came in a lackluster fifth place with 147,000 demo viewers.

Here is a full breakdown of Thursday’s cable news ratings by show:
