Mediaite StaffFeb 16th, 2022, 4:33 pm
 

In the battle for the number one morning show on cable news, Fox & Friends is resoundingly in first place.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe is in a strong second, while CNN’s New Day is in third.

To illustrate: Tuesday’s ratings have Fox & Friends more than quadrupling New Day in terms of total viewers.

In all three hours that the shows run, Fox has secured four times the viewership. At 6 a.m., Fox pulled in 1.16 million viewers, while CNN brought in 289,000.

At 7 a.m., Fox brought in an average of 1.61 million viewers to CNN’s 374,000. And, finally, at 8 a.m. Fox raked in 1.79 million viewers to CNN’s 430,000.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe, which is soon to expand to 4 full hours, brought in an average of 842,000 viewers across all three hours.
