Sean Hannity got moved to the 9 pm slot after Eric Bolling was fired from Fox News and his show was replaced by The Five, and now Matt Drudge is mocking her for the ratings results.
It’s true. Hannity absolutely trounced Maddow after a few months of doing fairly well against The Five that had been moved to evening.
The Fox News pundit pulled in an average of 3,498,000 viewers from Monday through Thursday, with 713,000 in the key adult 25-54 demographic, according to early Nielsen figures.
Maddow averaged 2,649,000 viewers, with 599,000 adults 25-54. CNN’s 9 p.m. hour — which usually features Anderson Cooper’s “AC360,” but this week had two special town halls — finished third, with 1,173,000 viewers and 416,000 in the key demographic.
