MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show was the most-watched show in all of cable TV Thursday, with a total audience of nearly 3.2 million viewers. MSNBC, which had record ratings in 2017 and finished second to long-time cable news leader Fox News in the February ratings period, took a decisive overall win Thursday, beating both Fox News and CNN among viewers 25-54, the demographic coveted by advertisers. Fox News remained on top among total viewers. At 9 p.m., Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity, who has been the top host in cable news for five straight months, fell behind Maddow (3.146 million to 2.976 million). FNC's Tucker Carlson was third overall (2.599 million), followed by Fox News' Laura Ingraham (2.333 million).
