Rachel Maddow Surges To Become The #1 Show On Cable TV [View all]

Younger viewers were already flocking to Maddow, but the total viewership on Thursday was at O’Reilly Factor levels. Fox News has been concerned since they showed O’Reilly the door that Maddow would take the top rated spot on cable news. It’s the reason why they moved Hannity to 9 PM. Fox News is desperate to slow down Maddow’s momentum because their branding and identity are tied to being number one.

Rachel Maddow’s show is unique on cable news, and that uniqueness, plus her willingness to dive deep into the Russia scandal has turned made The Rachel Maddow Show a force to be reckoned with.
