Fox News on Friday won prime time in total viewers, but landed third in the key 25-54 age demographic.

Fox News’s 1.50 million average prime time viewers was more than enough to beat MSNBC, which brought in 1.37 million. CNN came third place with 728,000 average viewers. But it was a different story in the demo as CNN won prime time with 177,000 viewers. MSNBC was in second with 144,000, just beating Fox’s 141,000.

Fox won the day in total average viewers and in the demo, while The Five was again the highest-rated show on cable news.
