Fox News had the top five most-watched cable news programs during the first quarter of 2020.
With the coronavirus pandemic increasingly taking up much of the media’s focus, prime-time hosts Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson had the top two shows, averaging more than 4 million viewers a night, according to Nielsen Media Research.
The Five, which starts at 5 p.m. ET; Laura Ingraham’s evening program, which airs at 10 p.m.; and news anchor Bret Baier’s program, which airs at 6 p.m., rounded out the top five. Each program averaged more than 3 million viewers. These five shows also finished in the top five of the key 25-54 age demographic, which helps determine ad rates.
