MSNBC tripled CNN in total viewers during prime time on Monday, thanks to a strong showing from star host Rachel Maddow.

MSNBC averaged 1.82 million viewers in prime time, while CNN pulled in 640,000 and Fox News placed first with 2.43 million.

While Maddow walloped CNN’s Anderson Cooper in their 9 p.m. time slot, Fox News’s Sean Hannity won the hour in both total viewers and the key 25-54 age demographic.
