Love them or hate them, FOX News continues to dominate the ratings in cable news. Now that post-election ratings have cratered for CNN and MSNBC, the strength of the FOX News channel only seems to grow.
CNN and MSNBC should be experiencing historic ratings. It’s an election year and the outcome of the election was shocking to many people on the left. You would think they would be watching MSNBC and CNN but they are not. A huge segment of the left feels betrayed by liberal media and who can blame them?
FOX News was the only cable news network that came close to fair in this election cycle. Now they are reaping the rewards.
FOX News put out this press release:
FOX NEWS CHANNEL COMMANDS LARGEST CABLE NEWS SHARE IN ITS HISTORY AS MSNBC AND CNN RATINGS COLLAPSE CONTINUES
FOX News Channel (FNC) commanded its highest-share of the cable news audience in network history across total day, holding 62% of the cable news audience during the historic election month, according to data from Nielsen Media Research. Leading across every category, FNC marked 45 consecutive months as number one with cable news in primetime and total day in both viewers and the 25-54 demographic. In primetime (8 – 11 PM/ET), FNC delivered 3.2 million viewers and 476,000 in the 25-54 demographic, growing its audience 86% year-over-year in total viewership and 147% in the 25-54 demo. In total day, FNC drew 2 million viewers and 282,000 in the 25-54 demo, marking 67% growth year-over-year with viewers and 101% in the 25-54 demo.
Once again, more Independents and Democrats continued to tune in to FNC over any other network with A25-54, according to data from Nielsen MRI Fusion. FNC was also number one in cable news with Asians, Hispanics and upscale viewers throughout total day. Additionally, FNC was November’s fastest growing television network in both viewers and the 25-54 demographic. This month, FNC delivered 248 telecasts with over two million viewers, compared to MSNBC which saw just 14 and CNN with only ten.
Since election night, FNC has been the most-watched network in all of television in primetime, topping ABC, CBS, NBC and all cable networks with over four million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. The channel has also outpaced broadcast network CBS and cable during a historical breaking news year from the ill-fated Biden-Trump debate at the end of June through the end of November. Following the November 5th election, FNC’s audience has risen 24% in primetime compared to year-to-date and the network now holds 73% of the cable news share as CNN (down 39%) and MSNBC (down 52%) have seen their audiences collapse to record lows in primetime.
FNC increased its total day viewership increase by 32% compared to year-to-date. While FNC commands 3 million viewers and 382,000 in the 25-54 demo in primetime post-election, MSNBC has collapsed to 644,000 viewers and 63,000 in the 25-54 demo and CNN dropped to just 453,000 viewers and 92,000 in the 25-54 demo. Across total day, FNC has scored 1.9 million viewers and 249,000 in the 25-54 demo compared to CNN with just 357,000 viewers and 65,000 in the 25-54 demo and MSNBC’s 497,000 viewers and only 49,000 in the 25-54 demo.
CNN and MSNBC have a serious problem. They’re even getting beaten in ratings by the Hallmark Channel.
