Don Lemon Tonight

CNN’s Don Lemon beat MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell in the advertiser coveted 25-54 age demographic on Thursday.

The first hour of Don Lemon Tonight, which goes up against O’Donnell at 10 p.m., drew 165,000 viewers in the demo. O’Donnell pulled in 97,000 in that metric.

Still, O’Donnell performed well in total viewers, nearly doubling Lemon with 1.4 million to the CNN host’s 722,000. That number from O’Donnell was enough to tie for first on MSNBC in total viewers with Nicolle Wallace.

At 10 p.m., Fox News host Laura Ingraham still reigned supreme, beating both Lemon and O’Donnell in total viewers and the demo.

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