Tucker Carlson Dethroned From Most-Watched Cable Spot — But Not By Who You Think

For the first time this month, Tucker Carlson’s primetime Fox News show didn’t rank in the top two most watched broadcasts on cable TV last week — instead, the top slots went to a pair of NBA games on ESPN
The most popular non-Fox News or NBA broadcast last week was an episode of
The Rachel Maddow Show that ranked in
15th place with 2.6 million viewers
When Carlson doesn’t snag the top spot on cable television, a live sporting event is sometimes the culprit. Two weeks ago, the top five cable broadcasts all belonged to Carlson, but in the first week of May, he fell just 10,000 viewers behind Fox Sports 1’s showing of a NASCAR Cup race.
