Cable News Ratings Friday May 20: Nicolle Wallace Only MSNBC Host to Get Over 1 Million

Mediaite StaffMay 23rd, 2022, 4:47 pm
 

MSNBC’s prime time ratings took a dive on Friday as only Nicolle Wallace’s Deadline: White House broke the million viewer mark on the network.

While Fridays often bring in fewer viewers in the evening, MSNBC sunk to an average of only 628,000 total viewers across prime time. While the network still beat CNN’s average of 530,000 viewers, its total was far less than the previous Friday, which saw MSNBC bring in an average of 1.04 million prime time viewers.

While Wallace brought in an average of 1.09 million total viewers across her two hours of programming to lead her network, MSNBC Prime at 9 p.m. came in second with 989,000 total viewers.

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