Forbes reports that CNN was the most-watched cable news show at 8 pm and this continued through 9 pm., then back to their old selves.
CNN took a rare ratings victory in prime time Wednesday night, with the network’s town hall featuring former President Donald Trump drawing 3.1 million viewers, according to early overnight Nielsen ratings. From 8 p.m. to 9:15 p.m., CNN was the most-watched cable news network. They more than doubled the ratings of Fox News (1.4 million viewers) and MSNBC (1.37 million viewers).
CNN held on to first place into the 9 p.m. ET hour, with an average audience of 2.03 million viewers, just ahead of Fox News Channel’s 1.93 million viewers and MSNBC’s 1.36 million viewers. By 10 p.m. ET, CNN had fallen back into its familiar third-place slot, delivering an audience of 1.2 million viewers, compared to MSNBC’s 1.6 million viewers and FNC’s 1.8 million viewers.
Fox News is looking at Laura Ingraham to take over Tucker Carlson’s timeslot. It might be because she has picked up some of the youth. She’s at 241,000 in the Demo, 25-54. It’s not Tucker’s numbers, but they might think the earlier hour will increase those numbers.
The organic boycott of Fox News Tonight continues. As for the other primetime shows, they’re not what they were.

In CNN’s fight for survival, they gave President Trump a voice and now Biden is in serious trouble. With Twitter not banning Conservative Speech. Biden is down 7% in a head to head match with Trump and that gap is growing. If Biden does any more damage to the economy Trump will win in a Clear Landslide.
I doubt that Biden even has 38%. As we have heard from Union Folks; they lie to the Pollsters because they are worried that what they say may get back to their Union Bosses. I think Biden actual has less than 30% support among The People.
CNN did a great end around to defeat Faux and get viewers. Faux will not have on Trump, it would give him the exposure plus chance to speak openly.
