MSNBC Dayside Changes?
TVNewser reports that Morning Meeting with Dylan Ratigan may get split in half with an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. Does that mean the show will be called “Afternoon Meeting”? and will it need a new graphics package to go with it?
Meanwhile I’d really love to see the numbers for Dr. Nancy Snyderman’s show. The last numbers leak of MSNBC’s 9-1pm block revealed it to be the lowest performer of all of the June 30th launched programs. If it’s still the lowest performer and Ratigan’s show is halved, it means that, with Carlos Watson’s show getting canned already, that all the higher rated programs have been tinkered with. Which is a wierd way of addressing the situation – tinkering with the higher rated shows first.
The other shoe in this whole idea is the notion that the Shuster/Hall pairing isn’t untouchable since one of their two hours would be affected if Ratigan’s show got halved.

Moving everything back an hour to put Ratigan’s second half at 4 would retain the 2-hour Shuster/Hall block, and put Dr. Nancy at 11. Makes sense to me. Ratigan should be good competition for Cavuto and the first hour of Situation Room, plus a better lead-in to Hardball.

For the month of October Dr Nancy pulled in a pathetic 216K total and 72K in the “demo”.
Dylan got 318K and 116K
