MSNBC-ya: Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann boost MSNBC, TV's fasting growing channel

By GottaLaff

They may be behind in overall numbers, but MSNBC's viewership is growing fast:

MSNBC was the fastest growing channel in all of television in 2008 when measured in Total Viewers for both total day and prime time. The NBC cable news channel was the third fastest in growth in the A25-54 demo behind BBC America and History International.

The Rachel Maddow Show beat Larry King Live from its premiere-to-date (9/8-12/28) in the demo for second place at 9pmET. Countdown with Keith Olbermann at 8pmET delivered MSNBC its strongest ratings ever at the hour, also finishing second in the demo.

We have awfully good taste, don't we?
