Matthews on Sundays

Here's an interesting story on Chris Matthews' Sunday talk show. I've caught the show a couple of times and it is pretty decent--better that This Week or Face the Nation for sure.

And here's the money paragraph:

After launching to weak ratings -- a 1.0 -- last fall, the show has almost doubled in popularity and has recently been competitive with CBS' "Face the Nation" and ABC's "This Week" while regularly outdrawing "Fox News Sunday."

Also interesting:

"Hardball" averaged only 362,000 people in May
