Megyn Kelly Tops Night In Cable News Ratings
Has Fox News Channel found the new queen of primetime cable news? In her second night on Fox News� new primetime lineup, Megyn Kelly clocked the highest adults 25-54 rating across all of cable news, building on her Bill O�Reilly lead-in. Kelly averaged 623,000 demo viewers and 2.8 million viewers overall � and did it without Sen. Ted Cruz, her premiere-night big �get.� Compared to her maiden voyage in primetime the previous night Kelly�s show jumped 116% in the demo and 34% in overall audience.
In so doing, she beat CNN�s Piers Morgan and MSNBC�s Rachel Maddow combined � in both metrics. Morgan logged 590,000 viewers, 169,000 of them in the demo; Maddow logged 1.1 million viewers, 291,000 in the demo.
At 8 PM, The O�Reilly Factor continued to snag cable news�s biggest overall audience, 3 million viewers; 578,000 of them fit into the cable news demo. Meanwhile, Greta Van Susteren, who now kicks off FNC�s primetime at 7 PM, attracted an average overall crowd of 1.8 million viewers, 317,000 in the demo, finishing first among cable news nets on both counts.
Rounding out the night, FNC�s Hannity scored 2.2 million viewers, 517,000 in the demo. In fact, FNC�s entire primetime lineup came in No. 1 in both metrics, beating MSNBC and CNN combined. On its first night, FNC�s new primetime was edged by MSNBC in the demo in a couple slots. Look as though the FNC audience is catching on to the new slate.
