This article details the ratings trouble All In and a new CNN show have encountered. All In is opposite ratings juggernaut The O'Reilly Factor. *Should it be moved to another timeslot? Or should it be left where it is and emphasize its difference from the Factor, the way The Rachel Maddow Show, opposite Hannity, differentiates itself from that show? (see below)
It's good to know they're giving All In a chance, the way networks used to give a chance to shows that weren't initially ratings blockbusters.

*I found out that Who's the Boss? first aired on 20 September 1984, the same day The Cosby Show premiered. For its first month, Who's the Boss? was broadcast on Thursdays opposite Family Ties (which immediately followed Cosby), and suffered in the ratings. The next month, it was moved to Tuesdays, where it stayed for several years, and the show became one of the top-rated sitcoms of the late `80s.

I can't judge any of this until I get home and can spend time watching Chris's program. It was audacious to run him opposite Bill O'Reilly. But Chris Hayes has a lot of fallback positions, such as being an editor at the Nation Magazine, so he can afford to take these chances. And he is still very young. Look how well Rachel Maddow has done.
