Morning Joe

MSNBC’s Morning Joe’s continued on Wednesday to post strong numbers, beating Fox & Friends at 6 a.m. and scoring an average of 1.31 million total viewers between 7 and 10 a.m.

The long-running MSNBC morning show beat Fox & Friends in the 25-54 age demographic on Tuesday, but fell shy of repeating that on Wednesday — except for during the 6 a.m. hour.

Fox & Friends’s final hour at 8 a.m. led the morning shows with 1.48 million total viewers and 193,000 demo viewers. Morning Joe averaged 174,000 demo viewers from 7 to 10 a.m.

CNN This Morning landed in third place with its highest-rated hour averaging 477,000 total viewers and 113,000 demo viewers.
