Last Friday marked 25 consecutive weeks of Fox News beating out CNN and MSNBC combined in both total day time and prime time viewers.

Monday, the beginning of the 26th week, showed no changes in that trend.

Fox pulled in 1.85 million total day time viewers to start the week, compared to CNN’s 516,000 and MSNBC’s 833,000. During prime time Fox brought in 2.87 million total viewers to CNN’s 624,000 and MSNBC’s 1.42 million.

Noteworthy in Fox’s domination of the cable news charts last week, both The Five and Tucker Carlson Tonight (the number one and two rated shows on cable) beat out broadcast mainstays like ABC’s and NBC’s Today Show, in terms of total viewers.

Jesse Watters Prime Time landed in third place overall in cable news last week.

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