QuoteReport: More News, Less Opinion for Ratings Stinker MSNBC

Daytime viewership dipped 21 percent this year alone, while prime time fell off 24 percent overall. Perhaps more telling, daytime viewership is down 41 percent among what television networks view as the golden demographic, the 25- to 54-year-olds, and has fallen off 42 percent for that same group in prime time, Politico said.

The sagging numbers mark MSNBC's lowest since 2005.

MSNBC President Phil Griffin told his staff that the outlook was poor in a memo sent out in December warning of problems.

Sources told Politico that "every program is at risk of being moved or cancelled," even though such well-knowns as "The Rachel Maddow Show" and "Morning Joe" are likely to be fine. But already shows like "Ronan Farrow Daily" and the "Reid Report" have gotten the ax.

"The plan is to re-imagine what the channel is, because the current lineup is a death wish," a top NBCUniversal source privy to the network's shake-up plans told Politico.

Looks like the adults ( or at least the older kids) Have had enough of the lib line up at MSNBC. I wondered how long before the corporations (NBC and Comcast)would let this go before they started looking at shareholder profits!!
It will still be a Liberal stronghold but the pressure is on! They need to gain market share and Their leading lib's can't do that!!
How Deep will they cut? Will it be like Hitler's night of the bloody knives?

The main point I get from this article is the bean counters are taking notice! It may take awhile but even Mad Cow could be on the chopping block! It is going to be interesting if they cut Sharpton! I didn't see his name up there as a keeper!!
