Cable News Ratings for 2013-09-07
On the weekend, we see, as usual, that the only two shows that generate any significant Twitter engagement are MSNBC’s Up with Steve Kornacki and the Melissa Harris-Perry show. For the most part, this is because these are the only shows that work at engaging their audience via social channels.
Note: All times are in ET.

Please be aware that this is still a work in progress and there may be some schedule errors or Twitter challenges outstanding.
For the most part, I do not track documentaries, only “live” news shows. I also track repeats of the live news shows, especially since the repeats may occur during more popular viewing hours on the west coast.
