Two of Newsmax's nightime shows — "Rob Schmitt Tonight" and "Greg Kelly Reports" — beat CNN in total audience for the same hours.
Nielsen ratings reported that on Monday night Rob Schmitt's 7 p.m. ET show had almost 30,000 more viewers than "Erin Burnett OutFront" — a big number considering CNN is carried in 15 million more homes than Newsmax.
"Wild to see. #robschmitttonight beat every single show on CNN Monday, despite being available in roughly 15 million fewer households," host Schmitt posted Tuesday on X. "Thank you for watching."
Greg Kelly's prime-time show at 9 p.m. ET similarly topped "Newsnight," drawing 380,000 viewers compared to CNN's 365,000.
