Fox News Channel came in second place overall to TNT -- which had heavy NBA playoff programming.
After almost a year of nonstop growth, second-place cable news net MSNBC lost some ground. In prime time, the network was down 2% to 1.65 million and 21% lower in 25-54 viewers to 329,000. Total day viewing went south: 1% to 914,000 and 11% lower in 25-54 to 196,000.
