Here's How Laura Ingraham's Fox News Debut Stacked Up Against CNN and MSNBC

Laura Ingraham’s new Fox News show, "The Ingraham Angle," debuted on Monday to high viewership ratings.

Ingraham hit the ground running with the new show, leading over her same-hour rivals at CNN and MSNBC based on Nielsen ratings, The Wrap reported.

The debut opened with 3.27 million viewers overall, with 622,000 of the viewers falling in the 25-54 year-old demographic, an age range highly sought after by advertisers.

MSNBC’s "Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell" plays at the same hour as Ingraham’s show, and came in a very close second in that key demographic, earning 612,000 viewers in the 25-54 year-old group.

"CNN Tonight," which also airs at 10 p.m., was further off in the ratings, yielding only 1.34 million viewers total and 511,000 in the advertiser-coveted demographic.
