Mediaite StaffMay 26th, 2022, 5:08 pm
 

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace led both CNN and MSNBC on Wednesday in the ratings, in terms of total viewers.

Wallace’s 1.28 million total viewers across her two hours of programing well-outpaced every other program on her network and far-outpaced CNN’s offerings, which did not break the million viewer mark in prime time.

Fox News, meanwhile, dominated with the highest-rated program across every hour in terms of total viewers. In the key 25-54 age demographic, Fox News won every hour, except for two.

CNN Newsroom at 2 and 3 p.m. won their times slots in the demo.

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