Full year 2016 cable news show rankings.

Last edited Wed Jan 4, 2017, 12:28 PM - Edit history (1)

As usual, FOX news leads the pack in almost every time slot. Rachael Maddox Show was the top non-fox show.

Rachel Maddow hosted the most-watched non-Fox News program of 2016 (N0. 12), and it grew +70 percent in total viewers from last year. Anderson Cooper hosted the top non-Fox News program of 2016 in A25-54 (No. 7) and A18-49 (No. 4). AC360 grew +60 percent in the A25-54 demo from last year.

MSNBC programs to follow Maddow in total viewers are Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell (No. 16), the network’s half-hour newcomer The 11th Hour with Brian Williams (No. 18), All in with Chris Hayes (No. 19), and Hardball with Chris Matthews (No. 20).

Maddow, Hayes and O’Donnell delivered triple-digit growth in the demo from 2015.

Good to see the growth in Maddow, O'Donell and Hayes' shows, undoubtedly some due to the election. Hope it continues as we enter our next 4 years in the wilderness.

Go here to see the the list for all shows for 12/2015-12/2016.

Really?

Greta Van Susteran is supposed to get that prime spot.
