TV Ratings: Tucker Dominates Monday


On the eve of Donald Trump’s historic arrest and arraignment, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow scored a rare victory over Fox News Channel, with The Rachel Maddow Show winning the 9 p.m. ET hour over FNC’s Hannity. 

Forbes reports Maddow drew a total audience of 2.515 million viewers, just +1.8% ahead of Hannity’s 2.496 million viewers. On CNN, Erin Burnett anchored the 9 p.m. hour and drew a total audience of 742,000 viewers. In the key demographic of viewers 25-54, Maddow finished first with 298,000 viewers, followed by Hannity (249,000 viewers) and Burnett (208,000 viewers).

The highest-rated show in cable news on the night was Tucker Carlson Tonight, which drew a total audience of 3.246 million viewers, well ahead of MSNBC’s All In with Chris Hayes (1.656 million viewers) and CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 (949,000 viewers). 

In the key demo, Tucker Carlson Tonight finished first with 435,000 viewers, followed by Anderson Cooper 360 (232,000 viewers) and All In with Chris Hayes (181,000 viewers).

Carlson brought in 3.25 million total viewers on Monday, while The Five scored 3.23 million total viewers. The Five has reigned in recent months as the top-rated show on cable, but Carlson has offered stiff competition for the crown lately.

In the key 25-54 age demographic, Carlson topped the charts with 435,000 viewers. The Five came in second with 338,000 demo viewers.
