MSNBC’s Maddow Storms Ahead of Fox News in Ratings This Week

MSNBC is having a great week in the ratings.

Granted, Fox News won November, with ratings titan Sean Hannity marking his eighth consecutive month as the most watched show. But MSNBC has stormed ahead of his network this week, with Rachel Maddow winning every night in total viewers.

On Thursday night, Maddow had the most watched show in all of cable, notching a massive 3.407 million total viewers and 633,000 viewers in the key 25-54 demographic.

Lawrence O’Donnell‘s 10 p.m. show on MSNBC scored highly as well, right behind Maddow. Then came Fox News: Tucker Carlson was third, with 2.589 million total viewers and 456,000 in the demo, followed by Hannity, who notched 2.504 million viewers and 385,000 in the demo.

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes was close behind, in fifth place, and Laura Ingraham landed 10th.

It marks a strong showing for Maddow this week. She was number one in total viewers and the demo on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week as well. Other MSNBC shows, like Nicolle Wallace‘s Deadline: White House at 4 p.m., also leapfrogged Fox News.

Hannity still holds the ratings crown, however. He’s on track to ring in 2018 with the most watched show on cable news for the second year in a row. Fox News’s other shows excelled in November too, with Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham’s shows joining Hannity and The Five in the top five programs for the month.
