On Tuesday, March 8^th, FBN notched 35,000 viewers in the demo, a 59 percent advantage over CNBC’s 22,000. In addition, FBN swept CNBC every hour in the demo from 8am – 1pm and 2pm – 8pm.

In total viewers, FBN pulled within 32 percent of CNBC with 111,000 total viewers to CNBC’s 163,000. The network has been gaining traction on CNBC since the June 1^st lineup change that moved Maria Bartiromo to the highly influential 6-9am hour and Neil Cavuto to the midday markets timeslot.

And ratings just came in for Wednesday and for the first time ever – FBN has scored back to back ratings wins against CNBC in the demo. It’s the 7th win since the network launched, but the first time this has happened.
