Fox News normally ranks #1 among cable news channels. But lately MSNBC's Rachel Maddow has been challenging Fox at 9 p.m., the centerpiece of the prime time schedule.
"The Rachel Maddow Show" surpassed "Tucker Carlson Tonight" in March among 25- to 54-year-old viewers, the demographic that determines advertising rates. Maddow was on track to win again in April. But on Monday night the cable news ratings race changed dramatically. Carlson moved from 9 p.m. to 8, replacing Bill O'Reilly, and Fox's 5 p.m. talk show "The Five" moved to 9.
Maddow may or may not benefit from the change. Regardless, executives all across television news have already taken notice of her recent wins. According to Nielsen data, Maddow also narrowly topped Fox's 8 p.m. hour last week, when Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld filled in for O'Reilly.
Maddow's surge is being fueled partly by her day-in, day-out criticism of the Trump administration. There is an increased appetite for the liberal arguments she has been making for years.
"There's a reason Rachel is beating Fox and CNN," MSNBC president Phil Griffin told CNNMoney in an email. "She's a talented storyteller who's helping her audience cut through all the confusion coming out of Washington. She's connecting dots in ways no one else is."

sorry about all the “his”es. LOL Jenner’s mental issues.
Except for the obvious problem that Madcow come on at 9pm and Carlson is on at 8pm so they are in completely different time slots.
More Fake News from the Fake News center at CNN.
She has become a bigger red baiter than Joe McCarthy.
The Bernie supporters that I have talked to hate her more than we do.
There fixed it!
Yes, story telling has become the norm for biased networks rather than delivering the news objectively.
In Trump era, Rachel Maddow starts beating Fox News
Source is CNN, so it’s most likely BS.
Yeah, “Chiller Theater’’.
[There is an increased appetite for the liberal arguments she has been making for years.]
Whatever those are.
Mad Cow’s reign as top dog may be over!

Fox News led all of its cable news competitors in the ratings Monday night as Tucker Carlson debuted to strong viewership numbers in his first night in the 8 p.m. time slot formerly commanded by ousted anchor Bill O’Reilly. Monday night’s episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight drew an average of 3.2 million viewers and 636,000 viewers in the 25-54 demo, beating all other cable news programs in the 8 p.m. hour in both total viewers and the key demo, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
In demo viewership for the night, Fox News averaged 582,000 viewers while MSNBC drew 424,000 and CNN got 328,000. In total viewership, Fox drew an average of 2.8 million viewers, while MSNBC lagged far behind with 1.8 million and CNN failed to reach the million-viewer mark, according to the Wrap.
Carlson’s numbers stack up favorably with O’Reilly’s final Monday broadcast last week, when the one-time ratings king drew 3.7 million viewers and 635,000 viewers in the key demo.
O’Reilly departed Fox News last week after an investigation into numerous allegations of sexual harassment against the anchor.
Carlson kicked off his Monday night broadcast — which featured interviews with Caitlyn Jenner and former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe — with a message addressing O’Reilly’s departure.

So, CNN has to resort to celebrating MCNBC’s “success”? lol
Yep.
How does a family get to be a “Nielsen family”?
(No, we are not changing our last names to Nielsen)!
She certainly does - like telling her audience that the first woman elected to Congress "couldn't even vote for herself" - a blatant falsehood, and just one example of many indicating she's completely clueless and has no idea what she's talking about. But I bet her audience believes every word.
Right - LOL
,I never get to see him, once my head hits the “ My Pillow” I’m out like a light.
The two main Goddesses of harassment are Murdock’s sissy sons. They will dump Hannity sooner or later.
The problem with Tucker is he invites in the grossest lefties and then lets them talk too much. Sometimes he has no point to get across and is not prepared to win the debate.
If I wanted to watch a raging leftist loon, I turn on ABCNBCCBSMSNBCCNN.
Some of his commercials must run at least 1, maybe 2 minutes.
I’ve been DVR’ing old episodes of “X-Files” and he’s there at least 2-3 times each episode. Not to mention everywhere else. Friend got a magazine; HE’S THERE TOO.
I believe he intends to take over the world.
I agree. I’m afraid one friend succumbed to Obama’s hope-nosis. He’s right in that age group.
And then (I didn’t see it) TC had on the mentally-deranged Bruce Jenner for an opener? Good gosh....
