Last week we told you that the October cable news ratings would show that CNN continues to hold up in their mom’s basement when it comes to the ratings.

Fox News again was on top of the ratings, MSNBC was second and CNN was dead last in October.

It was a good book for MSNBC who showed growth in both total viewers and the demo.

Fox News, while topping the ratings, lost almost 30% of their demo in October.

Here are the numbers:

TOTAL DAY:

FNC: 1,458,000 total viewers – down 13% (243,000 in 25-54 – down 27%)
MSNBC: 1,140,000 total viewers – up 26% (180,000 in 25-54 – up 12%)
CNN: 774,000 total viewers – up 13% (190,000 in 25-54 – down 5%)

PRIMETIME: 8-11PM/ET
