Tucker Carlson Is Most-Watched Host In Cable News For Last Week

With an average total audience of four million viewers, Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson finished the week of June 8 through June 14 as the most-watched host in all of cable news, despite the decision by some advertisers to abandon his program over comments Carlson made about the Black Lives Matter movement.

Tucker Carlson Tonight finished ahead of FNC’s usual first-place finisher, Hannity, which ended the week in second place with 3.9 million viewers, followed by The Ingraham Angle (3.5 million total viewers) according to ratings data compiled by Nielsen.

Last week, Carlson drew criticism for remarks he made about Black Lives Matter, saying “this may be a lot of things, this moment we are living through, but it is definitely not about black lives, and remember that when they come for you. And at this rate, they will.”

Let them pull their ads. If they want to lose customers, that’s on them.

Now for all the small business owners on here - this is YOUR chance to buy ads on the cheap! Get your company in front of millions of potential new customers!

Imagine if Maddow or Cooper had been #1 in all of TV last night. It would be headline news.

If Tucker hadn’t mentioned it tonight I would have never known.

His program is where truth is found.

The public is hungry for truth because the Ministry of Propaganda only puts out lies.

Tucker is dropping way too many truth bombs, surprised he’s still on

props to the myPillow dude for staying loyal

Trump should be watching him every night, if not then shame on his advisors

the stark contrast of quality between the airhead Martha’s worthless show and Tucker is startling

I don;t know why Fox hasn't pulled his show. It's not like they would be punished for it. Very little of this has to do with profits, There is big money behind the scenes propping up cable news networks.

Instead of Hannity, I switch to Gomer Pyle after Tucker. Gomer doesnt interrupt Sgt. Carter all the time.

Great show tonight. He’s dropping tactical nukes on the Quisling GOP. Mike Lee in particular. Solid gold.

“Now for all the small business owners on here - this is YOUR chance to buy ads on the cheap! Get your company in front of millions of potential new customers”!

That’s a good thought but it wouldn’t be cost effective or practical. Most small businesses are local, not national.

He’s been on fire.
And the satire about the CHAZians has been right on the mark.
