Chuck Todd on MSNBC is a ratings flop

Source: FTV Live

... While still in the early stages, Chuck Todd's Meet the Press on MSNBC is struggling to find viewers.

According to Nielsen, MSNBC’s MTP with host Chuck Todd at 5PM/ET averaged 423,000 in total viewers and 37,000 in the key 25-54 demo – a scratch in the demographic.

Compared to Day 1, MTP is down double-digits in both categories (down 12% in total viewers and down 51% in the key demo). The program is also down when looking at week two compared to its debut week – the show is down 10% in total viewers and 22% in the demo.

Since we've had people here on DU tell us that MSNBC is not purging liberals, but merely getting rid of poorly performing shows, obviously Chuckie will be gone inside of a month.
