According to TV Newser and live-plus-same-day data from Nielsen, Fox News’ 8 p.m. offering Tucker Carlson Tonight was the No. 1 cable news show for the third quarter of 2021, not just in average total audience (3.24 million), but also among adults 25-54 (549,000).
Cable television’s top-rated host for the second consecutive quarter hauled in an average of 2.9 million total viewers and 487,000 adults 25-54 per original broadcast in Q2, meaning the show improved by +11% in total viewers and +13% in the A25-54 demo from Q2.
The network’s 5 p.m. panel program The Five climbed to second place across cable news in total viewers, averaging 2.98 million per original broadcast. Fox’s late-afternoon panel show was No. 3 in total viewers for Q2, and No. 4 in Q1 of 2021.
An solid leap. Hannity was the third-most-watched cable news show in Q3, averaging 2.94 million, and No. 2 among adults 25-54, averaging 478,000. After Tucker Carlson Tonight, The Five, and Hannity, came The Ingraham Angle and MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show rounding out the top five in total viewers. MSNBC’s powerhouse program was the most-watched show on cable news in Q1. That wasn’t the case in Q2 (No. 4) or Q3 (No. 5).
Gutfeld! (No.8) was also among cable news’ 10-most-watched shows for the quarter. The network’s late-night show finished No. 9 in average total viewers the prior quarter. In fact, 13 of the 15-most-watched shows on cable news aired on Fox News, including nine of the top 10. In Q2, seven of the top 10 in average total viewers were Fox News shows. The other three aired on MSNBC.
