Friday Ratings: HLN Beats Sister Network CNN In The Demo

During Friday night’s cable news primetime, HLN beat sister network CNN in the key 25-54 demo.

HLN’s 167k viewers in the demo, fueled largely by its 8-11 p.m. hours of “Mysteries” programming, beat out CNN’s 121k in the demo. However, CNN did beat out HLN in total viewership — 410k to 404k total viewers.
