Variety’s Michael Learmonth highlights some more September ratings:

“MSNBC’s once-moribund primetime showed some signs of life in the third quarter. Rita Cosby increased ratings in the net’s 9 p.m. hour by 67%, and Joe Scarborough, who was one of the first reporters in Biloxi, Miss., saw ratings up 59%.

CNBC’s “Mad Money,” the freewheeling investor show hosted by Jim Kramer, increased the net’s 6 p.m. perf by 141% in the third quarter and became the financial net’s highest-rated show in primetime.”
