America's Newsroom

Fox News’s 9 to 11 a.m. morning news show, America’s Newsroom, crushed its CNN and MSNBC competition on Friday.

Anchors Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino brought in over 2.2 million total viewers during  both hours of their show beating every show on CNN and MSNBC and all but four other hours on cable news Friday.

This wouldn’t be the first time. America’s Newsroom almost always bests the competition — by a lot.

Last Friday, CNN and MSNBC also saw a ratings boost during the mid-morning hours as sentencing in the Murdaugh murder trial drew in viewers.

CNN scored 744,000 viewers at 9 a.m, while MSNBC’s 4th hour of Morning Joe averaged 925,000. At 10 a.m., CNN drew in 885,000 total viewers, while MSNBC had 746,ooo

Here is a full breakdown of Friday’s cable news ratings by show:
