Some good news for Chris Hayes: "All In" scored ratings highs in the first week of MSNBC's new primetime lineup, according to The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday.

The network's primetime schedule changes, which began August 26, saw Ed Schultz at 5 p.m. and Chris Matthews moved to 7 p.m. The experiment paid off for Hayes' ratings: he drew an average of 772,000 total viewers and 224,000 in the key 25-54 demo.

THR reported that the ratings — with the exception of breaking news about the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15— were Hayes' best ever at 8 p.m. He has been in the timeslot for five months now. The numbers were a big jump from the week prior and August overall, when the host got an average of 475,000 in total viewers and 125,000 in the key demo.

"All In" also beat "Anderson Cooper 360," which drew 577,000 total viewers and 170,000 viewers ages 25-54, last week.

1. Hayes' position statement tonight was masterful in logic, fairness and power I clapped as I used to

on more than one of Keith Olbermann's special commentaries.

3. I like him ok, but I like him better at 9 and its Rachel

Is she his mentor? He speaks EXACTLY like she does. I think he even wears the same glasses. But since she gets the best ratings on the network (I think) i guess its not a bad idea.

9. Chris is on the right side on several issues.

One of these issues is the proposed strike against Syria. Of course his popularity is growing.
