Coverage of the media trial of the century brought CNN some gains in viewers on Tuesday. Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems agreed to settle for nearly half the $1.6 billion Dominion sought for defamation. The voting machine company accepted a $787.5 million payout.

The story dominated the airwaves on CNN and MSNBC, but was only briefly mentioned on Fox News. CNN averaged 629,000 viewers in primetime, up from 526,000 on Monday. It also picked up 8,000 more viewers in the 25-54 age demographic.

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