Rachel Maddow clearly remains MSNBC’s highest-rated host, despite only hosting her show once a week.

On Monday night, Maddow pulled in 2.75 million total viewers, which made her competitive with Fox News’s dominant line-up and landed her the fourth most watched show on cable news for the night.

Maddow still lost to her time slot rival Sean Hannity, who brought in 2.83 million total viewers. Both Maddow and Hannity crushed CNN at 9 p.m., which only brought in 760,000 viewers.

Overall, MSNBC prime time averaged 2.11 million total viewers, which is well above the network average in recent months. Fox News still led prime time overall with 2.87 million total viewers, while CNN landed in third place with 841,000 prime time viewers.

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