CNN saw an uptick of 1% total viewers during the week of June 7, while Fox News and MSNBC both grew their audience by 9% over the same period.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the modest increase was enough to return CNN to the top 10 cable networks in prime time. The network \u2014 which celebrated its 41st anniversary on June 1 \u2014 \u00a0fell to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cnn-falls-out-of-top-10-cable-networks-as-barack-obama-special-flops\">twelfth place last week<\/a>, even as an hourlong special interview with former President Barack Obama drew half as many viewers as a typical episode of \u201cTucker Carlson Tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TNT topped the cable ratings, followed by Fox News. MSNBC fell to fourth place, behind ESPN.<\/p>\n<p>HGTV, TBS, TLC, the History Channel, and the Discovery Channel all came in ahead of CNN in last week\u2019s Nielsen ratings.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News got more good news when it comes to TV\u2019s most coveted demographic, viewers aged 25 to 54. Of all cable news networks, Fox News was the only one in the top 10 among that viewer cohort. FNC ranked fifth place among the demographic, after growing that segment of its audience by 12%.<\/p>\n<p>The top prime time shows during the week of June 7 again included \u201cTucker Carlson Tonight,\u201d \u201cHannity,\u201d and the \u201cRachel Maddow Show.\u201d But Fox News has extended its dominance into the late-night comedy sector, as \u201cGutfeld!\u201d beat major networks\u2019 offerings in the 11 p.m. hour.<\/p>\n<p>Greg Gutfeld\u2019s right-of-center humor pulled in a larger audience than Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel, as well as cable competitors Bill Maher, Samantha Bee, and John Oliver.<\/p>\n<p>Fox also struck gold with two new weekend shows \u2014 Saturday night\u2019s \u201cUnfiltered with Dan Bongino\u201d and \u201cSunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy\u201d \u2014 which again won their respective time slots during their second week on the air.<\/p>\n<p>The takeaway: A star is born. Dan Bongino has had the most-viewed show on cable news for two weeks in a row, attracting 1.5 million viewers last week. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iheart.com\/podcast\/1069-the-dan-bongino-show-28888454\/\">Bongino\u2019s radio show<\/a> rushing into the void left by the death of Rush Limbaugh earlier this year and his news aggregator, <a href=\"https:\/\/bonginoreport.com\/\">The Bongino Report<\/a>, increasingly filling the role once served by The Drudge Report, Dan Bongino\u2019s television show could serve as the trifecta of conservatism\u2019s next breakout personality.<\/p>\n<p>Across the board, Nielsen ratings show that the American people prefer right-of-center news, commentary, and entertainment. Greg Gutfeld\u2019s success also shows that the American people have exercised their free consumer choices to view shows that are more conservative than anything offered by the networks. Networks driven by ratings and the profit motive would watch, learn, and change their programming accordingly.<\/p>\n<div readability=\"8\">\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
