MSNBC outpaced Fox News in primetime demo ratings for the second week in a row.

From Monday, June 12 through Friday, June 16, MSNBC averaged 202,400 viewers in the key cable demographic adults ages 25-54 during primetime, beating Fox News’ primetime demo viewership of 193,000 by 4.75%, according to Nielsen live-plus-same-day figures. When Saturday June 17-Sunday June 18 are factored in, MSNBC’s lead declines to 1% in the demo with 159,000 viewers compared to Fox News’ 158,000.

As the networks ramped up their coverage of former President Donald Trump’s indictment and arraignment, Fox News scored the highest demo viewership among cable news networks during primetime on Monday and Tuesday, while MSNBC saw primetime demo wins during the latter half of the week, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

While MSNBC’s victory in the primetime demo certainly marks a shakeup in ratings from years prior, Fox News maintained its lead in all other categories across primetime and total day viewership.

In terms of total viewership in the demo, Fox News scored an average audience of 1.85 million total viewers during the week, but MSNBC wasn’t far behind with total average viewership of 1.83 million. Though Fox News consistently outnumbered MSNBC for total viewership during primetime last week — winning the No. 1 spot from Tuesday through Friday — MSNBC came in first among total primetime viewers on Monday evening, when MSNBC scored an average 2.13 million viewers and Fox News came in second with 1.82 total viewers.
