Fox News scored the highest number of viewers in primetime Tuesday night as audiences tuned in to find out which Democratic presidential candidate won the New Hampshire primary. Fox News and MSNBC both saw an increase in their totals from the night of the Iowa caucuses, while CNN saw their numbers decline. CNN still beat MSNBC in the advertiser-coveted age demographic of 25-54.
From 8 p.m. ET to 11 p.m. ET, Fox News had 4.436 million total average viewers, according to early Nielsen data. Of those, 784,000 were in the key 25-54 demographic.
Just like last week when results were supposed to come in for the first contest, CNN beat MSNBC in the key demo, but fell behind MSNBC in total viewers.
