TV Ratings: Fox News Dominating

Sean Hannity's Fox News show hit a six-week high in viewers Wednesday with the host's latest interview with President Donald Trump.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hannity delivered 4.3 million viewers with the interview, Trump's first since he claimed "total exoneration" following the delivery of special counsel Robert Mueller's report to Attorney General William Barr. It's the most for the show since Feb. 11, when it drew 4.38 million viewers for an installment that included live coverage of a Trump rally.

Tucker Carlson Tonight (3.49 million viewers) and The Ingraham Angle (3.27 million) also had strong showings flanking Hannity, per early Nielsen figures — continuing a strong run for the network's primetime hosts since the Mueller report was delivered on Friday.

Fox News has led each of the past four weeknights in both viewers and the key TV-news demographic of adults 25-54, and by sizable margins. The primetime opinion shows have improved by double-digit percentages over both the previous week and their yearly averages, while MSNBC's and CNN's are down.

That's in keeping with a pattern of Fox News and its conservative hosts surging on news cycles perceived as positive for the White House. During negative cycles for the administration, MSNBC's left-leaning opinion shows tend to rise.
