CNN on Friday failed to land any of its prime time shows over the 1 million viewer mark. While Fridays regularly bring in fewer viewers, especially at night, the drop is noticeable.

On Thursday, Anderson Cooper’s 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. show crossed the million viewer mark and the primetime average for the network was 1.02 million total average viewers.

On Friday, however, CNN’s prime time average was only 726,000 total average viewers across its programming and neither of Cooper’s two hours managed to rake in more than 800,000 total average viewers.

Meanwhile, Fox News averaged 2.34 million primetime viewers and MSNBC brought in an average of 1.2 million prime-time viewers across its programming.

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