Fox News swept in the key 25-54 age demographic on Wednesday, with its lowest-rated hour in the demo still topping the highest-rated hour on CNN or MSNBC.

Fox & Friends at 6 a.m. brought in 265,000 demo viewers, which was still more than enough to top MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show in the demo.

Maddow brought in 236,00. demo viewers, the only non-Fox program to bring in over 200,000 demo viewers.

Tucker Carlson Tonight was the top-rated show in the demo on Wednesday with 509,000 demo viewers.

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