By Merrill Knox 

Fox News’ expanded primetime delivered its most-watched night Tuesday since the new lineup debuted, averaging 2,534,000 total viewers and 454,000 A25-54 viewers from 7 to 11pmET. FNC beat MSNBC, CNN and HLN combined by +8% among younger viewers.

“The O’Reilly Factor” and “The Kelly File” both had the most total viewers since the new primetime lineup debuted October 7. “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren” and “Hannity” posted their second-highest ratings in both total viewers and the demo since launch.

Kelly’s top night in the demo remains her second show — also a Tuesday — when “The Kelly File” drew 623,000 viewers, more than doubling her A25-54 audience from the previous night.
