So much has changed, but one thing has not: the king of cable news continues to call Fox News home. Only now, his name isn't Bill O'Reilly, it's Tucker Carlson. According to ratings data released Wednesday by Nielsen, Carlson's Tucker Carlson Tonight was the highest-rated hour in cable news for May, with 2,671,000 total viewers. Rachel Maddow also has a legitimate claim on O'Reilly's throne, finishing the sweeps as host of the top-rated cable news program among adults 25-54. The Rachel Maddow Show beat both CNN and Fox News among total viewers in the 9 o'clock hour--a first in MSNBC's history.
