According to figures from Nielsen Media Research, Fox averaged 3,283,000 prime time, viewers in November — a 71 percent jump from November 2015 — making it the highest-rated prime time month since 2012.
Fox’s numbers more than doubled the combined totals from CNN and MSNBC — 1,529,000 and 1,335,000 respectively — over the same time frame.
FNC notably saw a substantial bump at the 7:00 pm, EST time slot, now occupied by former “Fox & Friends” host and Daily Caller founder, Tucker Carlson.

or Mascara Boy.
I know what happens at my house when one of them comes on. *click*
Kelly Maygun was holding FNC back.
We’ll soon be in the Max Headroom world of microminute ratings changes driving all programming.
One thing is clear: the individuals at Fox who thought they were the real draw - like Van Sustern and Kelly - have found they were only a small part of the attraction. As soon as they leave, they don’t take anything like their original viewers with them.
Hubris is like that.
Is he beating Kelly’s totals? That would be sweet.
I wonder how Kelly at MSNBC is going to fit in, considering her inflated salary and ego in relation to Maddow and the others. I’m sure there are some renegotiations underway.
Next on the chopping block should be Juan Williams.
“I’ve read that with digital capabilities ratings can be reflected minute by minute. If that is true, I like to see what happens at Fox when Geraldo or Juan Williams show up.”
I would add Chris Wallace to that list when he shows up to pimp his show. And Shep Smith and maybe that metrosexual guy who reviews the movies on Friday. Although for the most part we just mute it. I guess we should flat turn it off.
Especially him. Ole Shep "get hysterical, New Orleans is crumbling" Smith. I'll bet the ratings take a nosedive when his stupid face appears.
No doubt about it....Even Rupert MUroch knew Megyn Kelly was a loser, a nutcase, female empty suit.......as NBC will soon find out!!! Martha McCallum...take heed!!! Girl.....you got yourself a golden opportunity!!! Use it. Keep in mind...O’Reilly will be leaving shortly and Jessie Watters will take that slot. Girl...if you hang the dying Democrat Party around your neck..you will be gone quickly...if you are smart..you join forces with Watters, Carlson & Hannity...and you folks rule the cable news TV audience for the next ten years!!! CNN is done, fnished!!! MSNBC will survive..it is slowly moving to the right!!! If not...it will die on the vine the same way CNN is doing right now!!!
Just take a gander at Shepard Smith..he has gone nowhere after many years at FNC. His sickly negative remarks every afternoon spot goes nowhere. Me..I hate the guy......under me he would be gone in a NY minute..he is bad a low life!!!
I know what happens at my house when Juan or Geraldo show up.
Minute by minute, hell no, nano-second by nano-second.
I have 4 TV that are hooked up to Comcast and they know, set by set, which TV is on to which program, when they get switched and if there is a human watching and switching or if it is DVR.
When the user goes to a DVR program, they can view the skips, rewinds, etal.
If I DVR a program but don't watch it, they know that.
Bill O' Reilly has his ratings monitored second by second so that he can decide which people to keep and which ones to drop.
Cable is a two way communications device, big brother is watching, and listening, and recording and creating a data base on your every move.
Tucker is the best ole’ gum show type reporter I have seen since the Late Tim Russert. Good for him, he deserves it and his show is good.
This article is a month and a half old.
"Compared to Kelly’s numbers on the same day last year, Carlson was up 27 percent in total viewers and a whopping 45 percent in the key 25-54 demographic, showing that Fox News may not wind up missing Kelly as much as everyone thought." - Accuracy in Media, January 11, 2017
.O’Reilly will be leaving shortly and Jessie Watters will take that slot
I like Jessie and watched he and Tami Lehren together last night on Watters World. Really like the idea of young people like the aforementioned two, plus Kennedy in the news. Even my formerly liberal kids like the young conservatives and tune in. Would like to see Jessie and Tami co-host a program.
...”Tucker is the best ole’ gum show type reporter I have seen since the Late Tim Russert. Good for him, he deserves it and his show is good.”...
I can’t wait for him to come on and when his show is over, I wish he had another hour. He knows how to drill down to the core of whatever is happening and I love it when he exposes all the fake stuff.
Thus the “extended news” tag - (I’m sorry you’re offended)
fox needs to get rid of mascara boy Shep Smith next.
ABC, CNN, and Fox all have homosexual prime time anchors. 1% of the population and half the news anchors?
The pink mafia strikes again!
