Fox News’ Hannity was the network’s top show during the third quarter of this year across cable news, beating out CNN’s top program, Cuomo Prime Time, with triple the viewership.
Sean Hannity’s primetime show raked in 3.3 million viewers on average during the third quarter, with 510,000 audience members in the key age demographic of 25- to 54-year-olds, according to Nielsen Media Research. The network carried four of the top five and 13 of the top 20 most-viewed programs during the time period.
Comparatively, Chris Cuomo’s show tallied an average audience of 1 million people. Cuomo led the way for CNN, which has consistently fallen behind its conservative-leaning counterpart. Tucker Carlson Tonight and The Ingraham Angle ranked the second- and third highest-rated programs for the quarter. The only Fox News program that Cuomo’s show beat out was Fox & Friends First.
Fox News has secured its spot as the most-watched network in total day viewers and prime time for 71 consecutive quarters.
