The ratings for the third quarter of 2013 are in, and there was good and bad news for each of the cable news networks.


Fox News dominated as usual, taking the 13 top programs. The ratings battle between CNN and MSNBC heated up, as MSNBC beat CNN during primetime and CNN claimed victory for total day.


The rankings reflect the debut of "AC 360 Later" at 10 p.m. on CNN in September. Prior to that, a "AC 360" repeat aired during the timeslot.


Below, see if your favorite shows made the top 30 cable news programs for Q3 2013.
