Cable News Ratings Thursday February 10: Tucker and Hannity Lead Cable News in the Demo

Mediaite StaffFeb 11th, 2022, 4:25 pm
 

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity led cable news on Thursday, landing in first and second place, respectively, in the key 25 to 54 age demographic.

Carlson, whose Thursday show leaned in heavily to covering the trucker protests in Canada, raked in an impressive 592,000 demo viewers to secure the top spot on the charts.

Hannity pulled in 491,000 demo viewers for a strong second.

Hannity knocked The Five down to third place with its 456,000 demo viewers. Laura Ingraham came in fourth and Jesse Watters landed in fifth place in the demo.

Hannity’s second-place demo finish was made all the sweeter by the fact he also beat Watters in terms of total viewers – putting him back in the top three. In recent weeks Watters had taken Hannity’s mantle as third-most watched show on cable, followed behind Tucker and The Five.

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