Should say I also enjoy Joe Scrabrough on MSNBC.

You, and the other 483 people who tuned in to watch him.

Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
I've always found it interesting how people often equate popularity to quality. Not to pick on Fox, but people who like the channel seem to use its ratings as a basis for arguing that it is a high(er) quality source of news. And yet, one of the most popular celebs in America is Kim Kard@shian. The most popular racing driver at Indy and in the IRL is Danica P@trick. Would anyone here really want to argue that these two wastes of skin & bones represents quality in any sense of the word?
Whether Fox is good or bad, I don't know. But I just find it curious how its fans use the popularity of the channel as any sign of whether its news is valid or accurate.

Actually, popularity in the news business does equate to quality. More people tune in to Fox News than the other three cable channels combined. Which means more revenue for Fox, and better guests from both sides of the political fence.
So ABC, NBC, and CBS must have the best quality.

Those Fox News numbers are inflated due to the GOP debates, btw. Here's another interesting, and hilarious set of stats-

Of course those numbers are going to look that way when ABC, NBC and CBS are free of charge.
And haven't they declined by something like 400% since several decades ago?
C'mon man, you can do better than that.

Fox News Continues To Lead Cable News Ratings
For the third quarter of 2011 Fox News kept up its run at the top of the cable news viewership rankings in Total Day and Primetime for the 39th quarter in a row, topping CNN and MSNBC combined and total viewers in both time periods. Every Fox News program was #1 in its timeslot in total viewership and adults 25-54 and beat the hours combined competition from CNN and MSNBC.Fox News was the fifth most watched cable network overall during primetime in total viewership for the quarter while MSNBC was #26, CNN was #29 and HLN was #30.
Individual shows also saw gains. Shepard Smith's The Fox Report was up 7% in viewership and 5% in adults 25-54 vs. Q3 2010. Red Eye had its highest quarter ever in both total viewership and adults 25-54. FOX & Friends increased 4% in total viewership and 9% in adults 25-54. Newcomer The Five was #6 among all cable news shows without a household name on its marquee and is within shouting distance of The Glenn Beck Show that it replaced. It wasn't on in Q3 2010, but is up 9% in total viewership and 17% among adults 25-54 in September compared to its first month (July).
For the quarter the top five cable news programs in total viewership were The O’Reilly Factor (2,886,000); Hannity (2,065,000); Special Report (1,865,000); On the Record (1,738,000); and FOX Report (1,673,000), and the top five cable news programs in adults 25-54 were The O’Reilly Factor (633,000); Hannity (512,000); On the Record (432,000); The O’Reilly Factor repeat (400,000); and FOX Report (399,000).

But you cannot deny the dinosaurs have declined exponentially. Especially in this Internet age. I am not going to dig for stats but this is a fact.

Because the OP's topic WAS about cable news.
You yourself said you stopped watching MSNBC (cable) after they fired Olberman.
Comparing ratings of a cable news show to the networks is like comparing sales of Ferraris to Hondas.
