In the last hour of live cable news programming for the day, Fox’s Shannon Bream had more viewers than the second hour of Don Lemon’s show on CNN, while MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow continued to have the most viewers across all of cable Thursday.

At 11 p.m., Fox News at Night had 1.34 million total viewers, more than the second hour of CNN Tonight, which had 1.18 million – although Lemon won the key A25-54 demo with 397,000 viewers, compared to 237,000 for Bream. On The 11th Hour, MSNBC’s Brian Williams maintained his lead in overall viewers (perhaps due to his dry humor), with 2.05 million, and was second in the demo, with 294,000.

The Rachel Maddow Show was again the most-watched show across all of cable, and the most-watched show in cable news, with 3.71 million total viewers, and 556,000 in the demo. Tucker Carlson Tonight had the most viewers in the demo, with 606,000 A25-54 viewers, and was the second most-watched show overall, with 3.57 million total viewers.

CNN’s dominance in the key demo continued into prime time, averaging 557,000 A25-54 viewers, but the network had the fewest viewers overall, 2.12 million. Fox had the most total viewers in prime time, 2.96 million, and the second-most in the demo, with 510,000.
