Cable News Ratings Friday Jan. 27 and Monday Jan. 30: CNN Draws Most Demo Viewers For Coverage of Tyre Nichols Footage

Mediaite StaffJan 31st, 2023, 5:15 pm
 

CNN's Erin Burnett

CNN drew the most viewers in the 25-54 age demographic for its coverage of the footage showing the police attack on 29-year-old Memphis man Tyre Nichols.

Memphis officials released police body cam and surveillance footage of the attack — in which cops violently beat Nichols, who died days later — on Friday night.

CNN’s Erin Burnett drew 546,000 viewers in the demo for her coverage of the footage, outpacing Tucker Carlson and Jesse Watters on Fox News, who pulled in 451,000 and 503,000 respectively.

In total viewers, Fox News still had the largest audience for coverage of the attack.

See the full breakdown of Friday’s cable news ratings by show below, which were delayed by Nielsen. You can see Monday’s ratings below as well, which were just released.
