Friday, April 11 Evening Cable News Ratings: The Five Finishes Below 4 Million Viewers for 2nd Night in a Row 

The Fox News staple still handily won the evening

The Five finished below 4 million total viewers for the second night in a row. However, the Fox News staple was still the most-watched program of the evening in total viewers and the Adults 25-54 demo. The Rachel Maddow Show was tops in total viewers for MSNBC, and the 5 p.m. ET edition of The Lead with Jake Tapper won that spot for CNN.
