Congratulations to everyone! MSNBC beat CNN in sales prime for the month of November. What great news. This is exactly where we want to be with the election less than a year away. We got the momentum now... 2008 is our year!

M-S 7pm-2am Sales Prime: MSNBC was up +3% among A25-54 and +6% with P2+ from Nov 06, while CNN was down and FXNC posted lower P2+ growth (+1%). MSNBC also posted the strongest adult and total viewer growth of any cable news network from the prior month. MSNBC averaged 198,000 A25-54 (24 share) for the month and 467,000 P2+. MSNBC ranked #2 in sales prime for the month among A25-54, topping CNN.
