Queen Elizabeth II on CNN

Coverage of the Queen Elizabeth II lying in state at Westminster Hall in London boosted CNN across the 1 million mark for two hours in the Wednesday ratings.

CNN drew 1.08 million viewers in the 9 a.m. hour and 1.3 million viewers in the 10 a.m. hour.

The network rarely crosses the 1 million viewer mark these days, either in total viewers or the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demographic.

While CNN bested MSNBC in those hours, Fox News won every other hour on Wednesday, averaging 1.82 million viewers in total day to CNN’s 773,000.

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