Fox News averaged four million weekday prime-time viewers, beating out leading broadcast network NBC (3.6 million viewer average). Between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m., Fox News averaged 3.5 million viewers to finish No. CNN, HGTV and ESPN joined MSNBC and Fox News to round out the top five most-watched primetime cable networks.
