Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity Just Broke A Primetime Cable News RecordAs drama, gossip, and industry chatter has swirled around the 9 pm hour in cable news — with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow now scaling back her time on air, while CNN has yet to settle on a permanent replacement following Chris Cuomo’s ouster — the anchor in that time slot over at Fox News has just broken a record.
As of Thursday, April 21, Fox host Sean Hannity is now the longest-running primetime cable news host in TV history, surpassing the record previously held by the late Larry King. For more than 25 years, Hannity has been a mainstay of the conservative content juggernaut driving Fox overall to cable news dominance, with the network as of February having now spent 20 years as the #1 cable news network in total day and primetime viewership as well as in the key 25-54 demo.
