In a major blow to MSNBC, the network has seen a significant drop in viewership just weeks after debuting a new primetime lineup in an attempt to address tumbling ratings

Viewers are fleeing MSNBC just weeks after the liberal network debuted a new primetime lineup in a bid to salvage tumbling viewership.

So far this month, MSNBC dropped 41 percent in the primetime demographic and 34 percent in the total day demo compared to May 2024, leaked ratings figures show.

It’s a stinging blow for Jen Psaki who on May 5 took over for Rachel Maddow during the 9pm timeslot from Tuesday to Friday.

Maddow, who’s been the top host on the network for years, previously said she had faith that Joe Biden‘s former press secretary would do even better than her in the role.

Jen Psaki has been handed the responsibility of replacing Rachel Maddow

Maddow temporarily returned as the five-night-a-week primetime host to cover President Donald Trump‘s first 100 days in office, but has since retreated to anchoring only on Mondays.

The latest ratings for ‘The Briefing with Jen Psaki’ came on May 22, when it failed to crack the coveted 1 million viewer mark. Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News, which also airs at 9pm, had 2.3 million total viewers that night.

Psaki’s show also performed dismally with the 25-54 key age demographic, only pulling in 55,000 viewers in that category. By comparison, Hannity had 210,000 viewers in the key demo.

On May 5, MSNBC premiered The Weeknight, a panel show featuring Symone Sanders Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez.

The lights on Set B weren’t supposed to be that bright. Someone in the booth had dialed them a notch too high, which meant Serena Williams stepped onto the Fox News set under a spotlight meant for a political debate, not a morning interview. No one noticed the mistake at first — except her. She didn’t flinch. She stood still, adjusted the single crease in her blazer, and smiled as she approached the chair across from Lawrence Jones. It was supposed to be a light segment. A feel-good spot to open the hour. Something about her new foundation, maybe a mention of her investments, a few tennis clips, a nod to nostalgia. But as the cameras rolled, and the red “LIVE” tag blinked on the monitor overhead, it became clear: Serena didn’t come here to coast. She came to play. The producers had debated the segment for days. “Let’s keep it soft,” one of the senior bookers had warned. “She’s not here for politics.” “But it’s Serena,” another countered. “She’ll elevate the hour just by showing up. And honestly? She’s smarter than half the people we have sitting in this chair.” Still, the instructions to the panel were clear: Keep it friendly. Avoid policy. No wedge topics. Jones, recently promoted to the Fox & Friends rotation, had glanced down at his prep notes minutes before air. First question: “What do you miss most about tennis?”Second: “What’s your new morning routine now that you don’t have 5 a.m. practices?”Third: “Your thoughts on discipline — on and off the court.” Harmless. Polished. Predictable. But five minutes in, they never got to question three. ** It happened when Serena pivoted — subtly, gracefully — from discussing her nonprofit work in underserved communities to mentioning the way structural inequities often compound in silence….
