Both shows grew from last year, while Fox's other prime time shows fell in total viewers, but grew in the demo numbers.

Hannity returned to the 9PM slot and, on the strength of his interview with Bill O'Reilly, handily won the slot Monday night.

Hannity won again on Tuesday, and not by a little. Too soon to tell if he'll settle into the lead, but it looks good for him.

Hmmmm...they're tied in 25-54. Which tells me what I already knew: There are a lot of older viewers watching Hannity. Those folks probably went to bed early and missed him when he was on at 10PM. Now they can watch live. Makes me wonder why Fox waited so long for this move. It was the obvious thing to do.

The other thing I notice is O'Donnell holds more of Maddaow's viewers, while there is a huge exodus from Fox after Hannity. Meanwhile CNN viewership is fairly flat, which tells me people who watch CNN are watching because it's CNN, not for any particular show.
