CNN This Morning

CNN This Morning, the network’s new breakfast show helmed by Don Lemon, Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins, beat MSNBC flagship Morning Joe in the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demographic Wednesday.

The morning after the 2022 midterm elections, an average of 268,000 demo viewers tuned into CNN This Morning, which struggled in the ratings its first week on air.

That was enough to edge out Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski’s morning show, which averaged 263,000 demo viewers across three hours.

Morning Joe did beat CNN This Morning in total viewers. Fox & Friends topped both shows in the demo and total viewers.

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