Just a note! There are two main numbers. "Total viewers" and what they call "demo".
"Demo" is what matters. Advertisers really care about 25 -54 year olds and pay the most for shows that get that age bracket..
.
Fox typically grabs the largest number of "total" viewers (day and prime time all added up) while its total viewership is falling drastically every quarter (IMO as the world wakes up! ) it relates to the outlets history..
In terms of TV land , on the monopoly board (!) Prime Time + "Demo" is Park Place where everyone wants to be!!

MSNBC’s all-day breaking news coverage and in-depth analysis drove its best total-viewer deliveries in full day (M-F 6am-2am), total day (M-Su 6am-6am) and dayside (M-F 9am-5pm) in the network’s history, as all three dayparts crossed the 1 million mark.

In total day, MSNBC was the only Top 10 cable network to show growth over 1Q17 in the time period (+30% vs. FOX News’ -16% and CNN’s -13%), averaging 1,008,000 total viewers and beating CNN for the 4th straight quarter.

In addition, many MSNBC programs were instrumental in propelling MSNBC to the network’s highest-ever total viewer ratings. The following shows achieved record ratings for their respective hours and beat CNN as well: “MSNBC Live with Stephanie Ruhle” at 9am (topping CNN for the 5th straight quarter); “MSNBC Live with Hallie Jackson” at 10am (for the 3rd straight quarter); “MSNBC Live with Velshi & Ruhle” at 11am (for the 3rd straight quarter); “Andrea Mitchell Reports” at 12pm (for the 3rd straight quarter); “MSNBC Live with Craig Melvin” at 1pm (for the 3rd straight quarter); “MSNBC Live with Katy Tur” at 2pm (for the 2nd straight quarter); “MSNBC Live with Ali Velshi” at 3pm (for the 2nd straight quarter); “Deadline: White House” at 4pm (for the 3rd straight quarter); “MTP Daily” at 5pm (for the 4th straight quarter); “The Beat with Ari Melber” at 6pm (for the 3rd straight quarter); “Hardball with Chris Matthews” at 7pm (for the 19th straight quarter); “All In with Chris Hayes” at 8pm (for the 5th straight quarter); “The Rachel Maddow Show” at 9pm (for the 8th straight quarter); and “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” at 10pm (for the 11th straight quarter). On the weekends, “AM Joy” also scored record ratings, beating CNN at 10am on Saturdays (for the 2nd straight quarter) and Sundays (for the 1st time ever for a quarter).
Building on the success of dayside, MSNBC’s strategy to extend live, breaking news coverage on weekends led the network to deliver the only cable news growth in both total viewers and A25-54 over 1Q17. In total viewers, MSNBC weekend (Sa 8am-6pm/Su 8am-9pm) was up +15% (vs. FOX News’ -19% and CNN’s -18%). In A25-54, MSNBC weekend was up +6% (vs. FOX News’ -19% and CNN’s -19%) over 1Q17.
