All three of Fox News’ primetime programs topped 600K viewers in the 25-54 demo, a staggering feat for Tuesday night.
Megyn Kelly was the clear winner in the demo with 662K viewers to Bill O’Reilly‘s 639K and Sean Hannity‘s 602K. They all easily beat their competitors (the closest was CNN’s Don Lemon at 10 pm with 492K).
In total viewers, O’Reilly came in first with 3.52 million viewers to Kelly’s 3.32 million and Hannity’s 2.85 million.
CNN and MSNBC’s ratings in primetime were better than usual too. In fact, in a rather remarkable feat for a weekday on MSNBC, Lawrence O’Donnell (in the 10 pm hour) got over 2 million viewers.
Here are the rest of your Tuesday ratings:
