This is critically important because the only real purpose of a TV Network is to make money for the people who own the network.
TV advertisers do not pay a fixed rate per page like newspapers and magazines. They are paid a certain amount of dollars for each thousand viewers they deliver, and if it's not Fox, it's not delivering.
Because of their low ratings, CNN and MSNBC are leaking money like the Titanic.... 30 minutes AFTER is sunk. For example, MSNBC is paying Brian Williams big bucks, and the overnight taxi dispatcher is East Overshoe, Montana has more listeners than Williams does.
The (Dreaded) Suits will be demanding programming changes soon, and not just trying on a new face. Remember Ronan Farrow. Three up-three down in the bottom of the 9th.
The Suits read balance sheets and tea leaves very well, and these ratings, combined with the polling of President Ttump's speech Tuesday night showing that 75+ % of the country think Trump is heading us in the right direction.... and CNN and MSNBC are tring to drive us down the wrong course.... demand that core foundational-level changes WILL be made.
PS, please, do not waste time crying that FNC is "not Conservative enough." It's what America is watching, and let's celebrate our victories, not be like the Dem-Libs and always find something to complain about.
In a business that celebrates 3% increases, FNC is up 39%!
We are not crybabies. We are winners.
Lefist Fake News is losing bigly.
Agree but still believe replacing Shepard Smith in the afternoon would boost ratings.
I noticed something about CNN today...they weren’t going all in on Sessions, challenging every Democrat they had on, why is it different for Sessions than other Democrats that met with the same man? Are you just playing politics?
Strange day!!
“Because of their low ratings, CNN “
Doesn’t CNN get Federal dollars as well??
Fox News is the #1 ranked cable channel, of any channel. Fox News beats ESPN. The liberals are so blinded by their bias. Fox gets all of the right of center and much of center. All of the others are fighting for the remaining left wing audience. And they keep kidding themselves that they ‘aren’t biased’. People vote with their remote controls.
A painful rectal itch would be more popular than MSNBC.

I have my doubts. They’ve been tanking for years and it doesn’t seem to bother the suits.
I do think we’re winning and Trump is the suit that’s going to finish them off in the end.
Fox News, the best #FakeNews money can buy!
Less critically important if one figures that CNN and especially MSNBC dont need to pay their way to continue existing. They are less commercial enterprises than political assets. They are valuable to their owners even if they lose money.
CNN US is propped up by CNN International, their shows are typically fed internationally with some local programming.
So, Fox News Channel is not only the top cable news network, but the top cable network for 8 straight months, too. I guess the FR boycott isn’t going so well.
One could easily correlate the cable TV ratings, to what’s happening across the country when it comes to how voting is trending, with republicans vs democrats.
FOX could equal republicans as far as results are concerned, whereas CNN & MSNBC combined would equal the sorry state of democrat control across the country. Republicans control the presidency and the congress (both houses) and soon, POTUS, not to mention how republicans control a great majority of governorhips and most state houses and senates.
So, the sorry state of the democratic party is reflected by the sorry numbers being pulled in by CNN and MSNBC combined.
They all suck.
Fox would do even better if they dumped a few of their liberal anchors..
