The Five

Fox News’s top-rated program, The Five, scored a decisive win in the ratings on Wednesday with 3.61 million total viewers.

The Five crushed its 5 p.m. MSNBC and CNN competition combined.

Tucker Carlson came in second place with 3.27 million total viewers, while Jesse Watters landed in third place overall with 2.99 million total viewers.

Fox & Friends also pulled off quite a feat on Wednesday, as the morning program beat all of CNN and MSNBC’s programming in the key 25-54 age demographic, despite its very early time slot.

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