BREAKING: Rachel Maddow beats all cable, Fox and Tucker Carlson. [View all]

Politicus USA, posted about an hour ago:

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow’s special on the Trump/Russia scandal beat Fox News to be the most watched program on cable news regarding overall viewers and in the age 25-54 demographic for the 9 PM hour.

Maddow’s special beat every other program in its time slot and all shows on all cable networks for the rest of the night. The MSNBC program was watched by 2.904 million viewers compared to Fox News’s program hosted by Tucker Carlson that had 2.850 million viewers. Maddow nearly tripled CNN’s viewership of 1.256 million viewers. In the 25-54 demo, the Rachel Maddow Show beat Fox News 788,000-593,000.

The Rachel Maddow special was the second most-watched program on all of cable news. Fox News’s The O’Reilly Factor finished first in its timeslot with more than 3.6 million viewers. Maddow is also getting closer to Bill O’Reilly level ratings. O’Reilly has been the undisputed king of cable news for years, but he may have a real challenger for the title in Rachel Maddow.
