MSNBCs The Rachel Maddow Show was the top-rated non-sports show on cable television in January for the second straight month.
According to a press release sent to PoliticusUSA by MSNBC, Maddow continued its reign as the #1 cable news program in both A25-54 and total viewers for the 2nd month in a row. Across all of cable, Maddow was the #1 non-sports show between 6 am and midnight. Maddow averaged 606,000 viewers A25-54 (vs. FOX News 529,000 and CNNs 462,000) and 3.29M total viewers the highest total-viewer delivery ever in MSNBC history at 9 pm (vs. FOX News 3.01M and CNNs 1.54M).

A few years ago when Fox News was dominating the primetime ratings with Bill OReilly, Megyn Kelly, and Sean Hannity many media pundits openly speculated that Foxs reign of ratings dominance would never end, but that was before the network lost two-thirds of its lineup to a sexual harassment scandal, and was forced to retool around Sean Hannity.
