Cable News Ratings, Friday January 14: Fox Breaks 1 Million Viewers in All Time Slots, CNN Tops Out at 677K

Mediaite StaffJan 18th, 2022, 4:53 pm
 

Fox News crossed the 1 million viewer threshold from 6 a.m. all the way through 11 p.m. on Friday.

While almost all Fox shows pull in well over 1 million total average viewers daily, Fox & Friends often hovers just below 1 million viewers during its 6 a.m. hour.

Fox’s The Five and Tucker Carlson Tonight both raked in more than 3 million total viewers to top the charts, while Sean Hannity and Bret Baier each pulled in more than 2 million total viewers to land in third and fourth place – respectively.

Meanwhile, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow led her network in the ratings with 1.70 million total average viewers, followed by Chris Hayes at 1.39 million total average viewers.

CNN failed to cross the million viewer mark on Friday with Anderson Cooper leading the network at 677,000 total average viewers.

Here is a full breakdown of Friday’s cable news ratings by show:
