According to Nielson Media Research's early numbers, FNC bested CNN numbers even during the network's own town hall event with 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Julian Castro. Thursday night's special event for Castro also marked the second lowest-rated weekday primetime town hall in cable news history. It fell behind the viewership of Kirsten Gillibrand's town hall from April 9th which delivered just over 100,000 among adults 25-54. ET, "Hannity" brought in nearly 3.5 million viewers while "Tucker Carlson Tonight" delivered nearly 3.1 million viewers at 8 p.m. Both hours on Fox News Channel also drew in over 500,000 in the key 25-54 age range.
