After hitting a new low of 32K in the 25-54 demo less than two months ago, MSNBC’s The Ed Show had another rough day on Friday with just 33K. That made the 5 p.m. show the lowest-rated program across all of cable news Friday evening.
While CNN’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer more than tripled Ed Schultz‘s show in the demo with 113K, Schultz actually came out ahead of Wolf Blitzer in total viewers, 377K to 363K. Fox News’ The Five was #1 at 5 p.m. with 279K in the demo and 1.833M total viewers.
Here are the rest of your Friday ratings:
