CNN Ratings Rise On Egypt Story

Egypt Boosts Ratings

CNN is experiencing a ratings boost due to its coverage of the Egyptian uprising. On Tuesday, CNN beat MSNBC in the ratings for the coveted A25-54 demographic--something it rarely does. Here are the demo ratings for the two networks, from 7 through 10 PM:

"John King USA" - 275,000
"Hardball" - 190,000

"Parker Spitzer" - 292,000
"Last Word" - 196,000

"Piers Morgan Tonight" - 327,000
"The Rachel Maddow Show" - 260,000

Anderson Cooper - 344,000
"The Ed Show" - 180,000

Cooper almost beat Fox News' Greta Van Susteren in the demo as well.

Several CNN shows also beat their MSNBC counterparts in the overall ratings, though Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell each beat back strong challenges from "Parker Spitzer" and Piers Morgan.
