Chuck Todd Hits Rock Bottom as Ratings Sink to Lowest Level Since 2014

Chuck Todd is continuing his downward spiral as his show โ€œMeet the Pressโ€ just recorded its lowest ratings numbers since he took over the NBC Sunday show in 2014.

Todd has seen his ratings sink like a stone over the last few months.

After taking over the show from David Gregory in 2014, Todd just delivered his worst ratings period since he was put in the Sunday morning chair.

โ€œThis does not augur well for Chuck,โ€ a television industry insider said.

โ€œChuck lost his gig at MSNBC and the guise that heโ€™d rather leave MSNBC completely and focus on Meet the Press on Sunday.

โ€œBut when you are focusing on the Sunday show and it is in freefall, perhaps you have to consider whether it is you and not the show itself that is driving viewers away.

โ€œNBC News Chairman Cesar Conde must really be concerned.

โ€œThis is like David Gregory all over again.โ€

According to Radaronline:

โ€œIn top-secret ratings data that has caught the attention of network brass, RadarOnline.com has learned Meet The Press โ€” the longest running show in television history โ€” recorded its lowest-rated quarter over the April-May-June period.

โ€œTodd peaked at more than 4 million viewers in the first quarter of 2017 (January-February-March) in the midst of Donald Trumpโ€™s presidency.

โ€œBut in recent Nielsen Media Research ratings, the magic number faded to a paltry 2.4 million โ€” shaving off a third of the notoriously goateed anchorโ€™s audience.

โ€œMaking matters even worse for the Peacock network and its executive, Todd has also been in ratings free fall with viewers in the younger A25-54 demo.โ€

NBS issued a statement when the network moved Toddโ€™s daily show on MSNBC to the streaming-only platform:

โ€œBuilding on its position as the nationโ€™s fastest-growing streaming news network, NBC News NOW will add new anchors and original shows to its lineup of daily programming.

โ€œChuck was one of the first broadcast anchors to see the massive potential of streaming and bringing Meet the Pressโ€™s daily franchise to NBC News NOW reinforces the platformโ€™s status as the destination for news on streaming,โ€ the statement said
