Another Rachel Maddow Update

Rachel's MSNBC show launched last night to stellar ratings.

From Keith Olbermann's blog:

The full ratings are posted in several locales, but here are the headlines:

Rachel drew 1,543,000 viewers in total at 9 PM last night. Not only was that better (by 160,000) than Larry King, but it was the second highest number of total viewers in Primetime, not counting Fixed News.

Modesty precludes me from saying who was ahead of her on that list.

The "advertisers' number" - the number of viewers aged 25 to 54, were also outstanding. 483,000 of the so-called buyers' demo tuned in, again, beating Larry (by 100,000) and second for any primetime show not on Fox (and she even outdrew Shepard Smith's 7 PM audience over there at The Zombie Channel).

Rachel is grateful, but too busy trying to improve over last night's debut to dwell on
last night, which I assume doesn't surprise any of you.
