Fox News Tops Cable News Ratings for 15 Straight Years With January Win
In prime time, Fox News is also right up there at the top beating all its cable news competition combined. So if Fox News is biased, it is working for them. However, I rather think their success is they are the only mainstream media source that provides all the news without bias, something none of the free networks or other cable news channels do.
I was interested to see how Tucker Carlson would do in Megyn Kelly's old slot and his ratings are significantly higher than hers. And Martha McCallum doing "The First 100 Days" in Greta Van Sustern's old slot is also enjoying better ratings than Greta did.
I still miss Greta--I honestly have not missed Megyn--and she enjoyed significantly better ratings at Fox than she has been able to pull at MSNBC.
But what do you think? Fox News stays on top by being biased and partisan? Or does it stay on top by being objective and honest? Or something else?
Fox News, which passed CNN back in January 2002, averaged 1.8 million viewers this month to beat ESPN among total viewers as the most-watched network among all of basic cable.
ESPN averaged 1.45 million viewers to finish second in a sports-heavy month, with Nickelodeon, HGTV and Adult Swim rounding out the top five. Among cable news networks, CNN averaged 791,000 viewers to finished eighth and MSNBC averaged 645,000 viewers to finished No. 13. . . .
