Fox Business Network beat rival CNBC in total business-day viewers for the fourth consecutive month in January, according to Nielsen Research.

In the busy month leading up to and after the inauguration of President Trump, Fox Business delivered its second-highest-rated month in its 10-year history, only behind the election month of November in 2016.

CNBC destroyed its credibility with business oriented GOP voters when they "moderated" a GOP debate. A prominent CNBC presenter John Harwood has been exposed as a Democrat lackey.

I’ve been listening to FBN quite a bit lately. FBN is excellent. It’s not just business but really at lot of meat.

There’s not much on Regular Fox
that’s worth a damn anymore.

I wasn’t going to watch the returns on November 8th. Didn’t want to destroy my TV. Thankfully, some wise FRiends here recommended that I tune to FOX Business channel. That was some of the best advice I ever received. Cool, calm and collected until they turned the cameras on over at the Javitz center prior to the announcement that Trump had won. The four hosts, Varny, Cavuto, Dobbs and one other lost it. Somebody said something about all the “long faces” there. You could hear a pin drop. Anyway, one of them made a remark about John Kerry’s and it slide downhill. Some of the best TV I’ve watched in a long time. I don’t know who the FRiends were but thanks for that. The wife and I laughed our asses off before going into shock that President Trump won.

Today I am switching to FBN from CNBC. The CNBC Trump ambushes during the election cycle, and non coverage of Obama’s lawlessness, and harboring democrat operative John Harwood, are the reasons. The downside? I cannot think of any.

Fox Business is a lot better than CNBC. If they would just get rid of Dagen McDowell, they would be even better. She is a Trump hater and has driven me to CNBC to listen to Joe Kernen instead in the early morning.

Election night I went over to a friend’s house to watch the results, they had another network on. I said I would have to leave if they didn’t change to fox bus, then changed the channel and now are hooked on fox bus.

I like Joe Kernan. Andrew Ross Sorkin is very forgettable. The options guy who doesn’t ever take a breath is anoying. Steve Liesman is a liberal liar.

Agree. FBN is 1000 times better than regular Fox News.

I also watch more of FBN than FNC - a very refreshing change - I especially enjoy — MAKING MONEY WITH CHARLES PAYNE — a really enjoyable show and is pro-Trump.

I can’t f-—ing stand her! She has a voice for silent movies and a face for radio.

CNBC has been worthless for years. Used to like Mark Haines. Liesman is an embarrassing dolt.

Addicted to Varney for market open and politics and the U.K. POV. Kennedy is entertaining.
