The big story this week, as stated in the headline, is the high ratings Hannity had on Wednesday night’s broadcast, when he interviewed President Trump. The airing won the week across all demographics. In general, it was another great week for FOX News, with all 12 of their hours in the top 13. This was interrupted only by Wednesday's Cuomo Prime Time on CNN, which tied Monday’s Ingraham Angle in the key A25-54 demo and out-rated it in A18-49.

There were clearly ups and downs in MSNBC’s week. Rachel Maddow Show continues to prove to be the night’s tentpole for the network, and higher-rated episodes managed to do better than some of CNN’s programming. Still, seeing blank boxes for Monday’s Last Word and All In is a result of those shows not being in Monday’s cable top 50. 

CNN’s top six hours were all broadcasts of Cuomo Prime Time or the Don Lemon-anchored CNN Tonight. Anderson Cooper 360, by far the longest-running show of the trio, often lagged behind a bit. Tuesday’s broadcast was CNN’s lowest-rated prime time hour this week, and lost to all four broadcasts of Rachel Maddow Show.
