MSNBC Wins Primetime Convention Ratings For The First Time Ever
MSNBC celebrated a major milestone on Wednesday when it topped its rivals in primetime convention ratings for the first time in its 16-year history.
TVNewser was the first to report the news. An MSNBC spokesperson confirmed that it was the network's first-ever convention victory, and the first-ever time that it beat its rivals head-to-head while all three were covering the same political event.
MSNBC's victory came on the first night of the Democratic convention in Charlotte. The network was first in both total viewers (4.107 million) and in the coveted 18-49 demo (1.432 million.) CNN came in second, with 3.88 million and 1.368 million in both categories. Fox News trailed far behind, drawing just 2.398 million total viewers and 550,000 in the demo -- a far cry from its ratings on the first night of the Republican convention, when it drew a whopping 9.1 million viewers.

to do their thing vs the 2008 convention when we were assaulted with the likes of this
listening to 100% speeches. I missed my regular evening buddies yucking it up on MSNBC.
They showed the more important speeches. Good job Rachael and Company.
Before then, I was pretty naive politically (but I was always a Dem!!).
A 
to all at the station for their hard work and fantastic analysis.
