CNN’s town hall with 2024 Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie, hosted by anchor Anderson Cooper, placed first in the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demographic on Monday, beating both Fox News and MSNBC.
The town hall, which came the eve of former President Donald Trump’s indictment on federal criminal charges related to the documents case, drew 1.34 million total viewers and 239,000 in the demo.
Since the ouster of Tucker Carlson from Fox News, the highly-coveted 8 p.m. slot on the network has seen its ratings sink. On Friday, with Harris Faulkner guest-hosting, the hour landed in #41st in all of cable news, behind scores of CNN and MSNBC shows.
On Monday, Fox’s 8 p.m. hour – hosted this week by Brian Kilmeade – drew 217,000 in the demo, but placed first in total viewers, with 1.8 million overall.
As usual, Rachel Maddow gave MSNBC a big boost, pushing the network into first place in total viewers in prime time.
Here is a full breakdown of Monday’s cable news ratings by show:
