The show also beat Joe Scarborough's program 209,000 to 140,000 in the 25-to-54 demo.

Fox News continued to dominate the cable news morning shows with “Fox and Friends” scoring a 314,000 in the 25-54 demo and 1,161,000 in total viewers.

However, CNN is demonstrating major momentum and could be headed towards Fox News’ heels in the 25-to-54 demo during the morning hour.
