Thursday, March 6 Cable Evening News Ratings: CNN’s The Arena Hunts For a 4 p.m. Foothold

Kasie Hunt stepped into the 4 p.m. Arena on Monday as part of CNN’s programming revamp. After a solid debut, the show’s numbers slipped a bit over the course of the week, falling from 687,000 total viewers for its series premiere to 517,000 for its Thursday edition, and 93,000 to 81,000 among Adults 25-54 viewers. Fox News’ The Will Cain Show is still the clear winner in that time slot, while the first hour of Deadline: White House with Nicole Wallace is a reliable second place for MSNBC.
