Despite Carlson having the highest-rated show on average once again, this is also yet another week where the Thursday edition of Hannity topped the week. Why? Well, he’s been interviewing President Donald Trump on Thursdays.
What is most notable, though, is the differences in demo ratings between Thursday’s Hannity and those earlier in the week. The big jump came in the coveted A25-54 demographic; in the less-coveted demos such as A18-49 and especially A18-34, the bumps were modest at best. This is a testament to which age groups are most prone to enjoy watching a televised interview between Sean Hannity and President Trump.
And if anyone is wondering why Monday’s Rachel Maddow Show managed to tie or out-rated every Ingraham Angle, it is also (indirectly) because of Trump. Maddow dedicated the show to reading passages from Mary Trump’s tell-all book about Donald Trump, which likely spiked interest among potential viewers.
Say what you will about President Trump: this week, the ratings did back up his early 2017 self-proclamation of being a “ratings machine.”
