Rachel Maddow

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow continued to show she remains a big draw, despite only hosting her show once a week — on Mondays.

Maddow brought in 2.38 million total viewers at 9 p.m. Fox News’s Hannity still won the hour with 2.46 million viewers, while CNN came in a distant third place with under half a million total viewers.

Maddow led her network in both total viewers and in the key 25-54 age demographic, bringing in 263,000 demo viewers. Hannity brought in 304,000, while CNN saw only 89,000.
