Fox News channel easily “crushed” the competition in October; beating CNN and MSNBC’s “combined viewership” and posting a staggering 2.8 million average primetime viewers this fall.

“FNC averaged 1.7 million total viewers to finish as the most-watched basic cable network for the 28th straight month. Rupert Murdoch’s cable news network also topped all of basic cable during the primetime hours of 8-11 p.m. ET for the fifth consecutive month despite heavy competition from Major League Baseball playoffs and other major sporting events, such as NFL and NBA games,” writes Fox News.

Leading the charge for Fox was ‘Hannity’ with an average of 3.5 million viewers, making the network host the most watched program in cable news. Hannity was followed by ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight,’ ‘The Ingraham Angle,’ and ‘Special Report with Bret Baier.’

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow finished sixth in October, averaging 2.6 million viewers per broadcast.
