TVNewser.com is reporting that the 5 p.m. show “Money with Melissa Francis” on Fox Business Network hosted by Melissa Francis beat its competition on CNBC one day last week.
Chris Ariens writes, “The show had its first A25-54 demo win against CNBC’s ‘Fast Money’ in the 5pmET timeslot. Last Thursday, July 12 Francis averaged 35,000 viewers to ‘Fast Money’s’ 28,000.”
The show, which debuted in June, airs weeknights from 5 p.m. to 6p.m., and it features a breakdown of the day’s top stories and how they impact the American taxpayer.
Francis left CNBC late last year to join Fox Business. Francis was a co-anchor of daytime programs ‘Power Lunch’ and, before that, ‘The Call.’ The Harvard grad has been on TV since she was one year old, staring in a Johnson & Johnson commercial. She would later play the role of Cassandra Cooper Ingalls on ‘Little House on the Prairie.’
