Ratings for MSNBC’s The Ed Show continue to fall and Thursday saw a new low for the 5 p.m. program with just 25K viewers in the 25-54 demo tuning in. That’s about ten times less than Fox News’ The Five, which had 245K and a quarter of CNN’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, which had 95K.
From 5 to 6 p.m., MSNBC’s PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton managed to more than double Ed Schultz’s ratings, rising to 57K in the demo. Then, Hardball with Chris Matthews did it again at 7 p.m. with 103K.
Here are the rest of your Thursday ratings:
