Fox News' Megyn Kelly Tops Cable Kingpin Bill O'Reilly For First Time For Entire Week

• http://www.deadline.com, By DOMINIC PATTEN
Yes, the 9 PM The Kelly File has topped 8 PM's The O'Reilly Factor on FNC before both on individual nights and even for a full week. However, those single nights were mainly around the time Kelly's show debuted in early October last year and on Election Night 2013. The Kelly File beat The Factor during the week of May 5, but O'Reilly himself wasn't hosting that week. Last week's victory was the first host-to-host face-off where Kelly came out the winner. From June 2-June 6, Kelly File drew 413,000 adults 25-54. That's a hair ahead of the 402,000 that O'Reilly pulled in among the demo, but in ratings as in horse races, a win is still a win. Both shows were up from the 344,000 and 370,000 among the 24-54s that they had the previous week, respectively. O'Reilly remained No.  1 with 2.528 million viewers overall compared to Kelly's 2.434 million. Last week was Kelly's second best week of the year among the demo so far.
