MSNBC Latest Ratings: How’s Network Doing Without Rachel Maddow?
- On May 9, 2025, MSNBC aired Jen Psaki's new show The Briefing at 9 pm, replacing The Rachel Maddow Show on weeknights except Monday.
- Psaki, who formerly served as President Joe Biden’s press spokesperson, assumed the 9 pm Tuesday to Friday time slot previously held by Rachel Maddow, who has now reduced her appearances to only Monday evenings amid ongoing schedule shifts.
- MSNBC ranked third in primetime viewership, trailing Fox News and CNN, while Nicolle Wallace's Deadline: White House at 4 pm outperformed comparable CNN programming.
- On Friday, Psaki's MSNBC show attracted 1.074 million viewers in total, including 66,000 within the important 25-54 age group, marking a modest decline compared to Thursday's figures of 1.105 million viewers and 98,000 in that demographic.
- The ratings suggest MSNBC faces strong competition from Fox News and CNN, with Psaki's show stabilizing but trailing Fox's top programs in key demos and total viewers.
