Rachel Maddow, host of the eponymous MSNBC news and commentary program, doubled the cable news channel’s audience in the 9 p.m. hour in a matter of days, The New York Times reports. “The Rachel Maddow Show” has averaged a higher rating among 25- to 54-year-olds than “Larry King Live” on CNN for 13 of the 25 nights she has been host, making MSNBC competitive in that time slot for the first time in a decade, the newspaper says.
