Neil Cavuto hosts 'Your World' on Fox News

CNN’s Jake Tapper and MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace are regularly the talk of Punditown. But Neil Cavuto, their quieter rival over on Fox News, regularly draws the biggest audience at 4 p.m.

Such was the case on Wednesday, when Cavuto drew 1.5 million total viewers and 259,000 in the demo. That was enough to handily trounce Tapper’s The Lead (702,000 total viewers and 123,000 in the demo) and Wallace’s Deadline: White House (1.34 million total viewers and 116,000 in the demo).

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