Last night, Piers Morgan beat all his CNN colleagues in total viewership during the primetime hours. His colleague Anderson Cooper, however, won the network’s night in the key 25-54 demo.
Morgan’s 556k total viewers was enough to beat out his next-best colleagues in Wolf Blitzer (543k) and Cooper (501k).
Over on MSNBC, Lawrence O’Donnell (309k) beat his Fox competitor Greta Van Susteren (230k) in demo viewership. MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow (388k) also beat her Fox competitor Sean Hannity (285k) in the demo. However, Van Susteren and Hannity beat their competitors in total viewership.
