The Rachel Maddow Show

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow topped Fox News host Sean Hannity at 9 p.m. on Monday night in terms of total viewers – a rare win for the network.

Hannity, however, still came out ahead in the key 25-54 age demographic, by a wide margin.

In total viewers, Maddow won the 9 p.m. hour with 2.378 million total viewers, while Hannity came in second with 2.304 million total viewers. CNN Tonight brought in 551,000 total viewers.

In the demo, Hannity led with 296,000 viewers, while Maddow came in second with 213,000. CNN was again in third place with 124,000 demo viewers at 9 p.m.

Cable news was forced to compete on Monday night with both the Emmy Awards and the return of Monday Night Football.

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