Hannity averaged the largest total audience on cable news, averaging a record-setting 4.45 million total viewers during the quarter. Granted, the country’s most popular cable news host received a bump from having his show air during the RNC and Trump rallies, but this is a massive number, nonetheless.

Tucker Carlson Tonight ranked No. 2 in total viewers for Q3 (4.35 million). The Five moved past The Ingraham Angle and into the No. 3 slot in average total viewership (3.5 million). The Angle came in at No. 4 (3.4 million), ahead of MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show (3.3 million). Special Report with Bret Baier came in a distant No. 6 in total viewers (2.8 million), followed by The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell (2.46 million), The Story With Martha MacCallum (2.4 million), All In With Chris Hayes (2 million) and The 11th Hour With Brian Williams (2 million) were cable news’ 10-most-watched shows for the third quarter
