Fox News Channel marked its 25th consecutive month as the most-watched network in cable in July, besting competitors CNN and MSNBC.

MSNBC finished second behind FNC in primetime with 1.66 million viewers, but dropped to third in total day to Nickelodeon.

CNN fared the worst out of the big three cable news networks, placing 10th in primetime and 7th in total day. In primetime, CNN fell to Home and Garden Television, USA Network, the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, the Hallmark Channel, and more.

Discovery Channel’s highly-touted “Shark Week” threatened to derail Fox’s dominance, but fell well short with an average of 1.7 million in total viewers.

Still, “Shark Week” practically doubled CNN’s average of 891,000 primetime viewers.

Fox Business Network beat competitor CNBC, who had a 23 year low in Business Day viewers for the month.
