Big News Day Means Big Ratings For Both Fox News And CNN
During a heavy news day with coverage of Libya, the East Coast earthquake, and Hurricane Irene, both Fox News and CNN saw an significant increase of viewers of their cable news channels.
- Not surprisingly, FNC remained the most-watched cable news channel. In fact, during both Total Day and Primetime, FNC beat both CNN and MSNBC combined in total viewers. And in the 25-54 demographic, FNC again beat both CNN and MSNBC combined in Primetime and beat them both individually in Total Day.Â
Here are the complete cable news ratings for Tuesday night:
