Fox News was knocked off the number one slot as the most-watched primetime cable television network in America, after being overtaken by MSNBC.
According to figures from global research company Nielsen, the network was the most-watched station during the weekday prime evening slot from 7pm to midnight between 17 and 21 July.
During this time the more centrist network gained 2.34 million viewers, while Fox News had 2.25 million.
The sought-after evening slots include shows from Fox presenters Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson, and the network previously gained the highest number of viewers.
The Rachel Maddow Show, which was the first television show to expose two pages of Donald Trump’s 2005 tax returns, also gained more viewers than Fox News and CNN for the fourth consecutive week in the prime slot between 9 to 10pm.
Man you know that Roger Ailes is spinning is his grave like a rotisserie chicken right about now.
This is really great news, and so well deserved.
MSNBC needs to recognize why this is happening, and the hunger people have for good journalism, and stop bringing on those Fox News castoffs for "balance."
MSNBC is what it is and people love it.
Currently I do not have to many must watch shows.
But the Rachel Maddow Show is at the top of my must see TV list every single day.
The only other show that attracts that kind of allegiance from me is "Game of Thrones." And Rachel Maddow does not even have to use dragons.
