‘Tucker Carlson’ Gives Fox News Historic Ratings Boost (biggest ratings month ever)
Daily Caller ^ | 2:17 PM 11/30/2016 | Christian Datoc

Fox News just made history.

According to figures from Nielsen Media Research, Fox averaged 3,283,000 primetime, viewers in November — a 71 percent jump from November 2015 — making it the highest-rated primetime 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 timeframe.

The network also posted monumental numbers for daytime viewers. Its 1,966,000 average made it Fox’s second-highest rated month for daytime viewers.

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.

“Tucker Carlson Tonight” premiered on November 14th and has seen double-digit increases in both total viewers and the coveted A25-54 demographic.

Carlson ended the month averaging 2,930,000 viewers, a 40 percent bump from November 2015, when the time slot was occupied by “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.”

WATCH:

TCT isn’t the only Fox show drawing huge audiences.

“The O’Reilly Factor,” “The Kelly File,” “Hannity,” “Special Report” and “The Five” still hold the top-five, respective positions for cable news’ most watched programs.

November was the the 192nd month O’Reilly topped all of television — averaging 4,089,000 viewers — and the highest rated month for Hannity since October 2013.

November marked the 179th month Fox News led all of cable news in total viewers.

I hope Tucker gets O’Reilly or Kelly’s slot once they rid themselves of them.

Carlson’s show didn’t start until after the election

No, she said white supremacist groups are responsible for more attacks, not deaths. I guess they aren't as efficient as islamists.

Hear, hear. I actually turn on the tv to see Lou Dobb’s show. His interview with Wilbur Ross was my first intro to that serious, thoughtful man.

Thanks for the correction, and indeed she sounds like a loon.

Tonight he had on a guy representing Jill Stein and her recount effort. Tucker made him look like a fool and when he asked where the money is going the guy made some really idiot comments about funding future recounts. The interview was priceless.

And I suspect that the numerous HOAX hate crimes that Muzzies report are counted among the anti-Muslim hate crime statistics.

Well so what?

99.3% of FReepers have been telling us for months that Fox is the spawn of Soros (even though they also tell us they quit watching TV 8 years ago).

Therefor, why bother boosting that which must not be watched?

Damn, I am so confused.

Tucker wouldn’t let that Hijab wearing woman get away with anything! He knows his stuff and comes right out with facts and figures. And not with just this woman tonight. I really like him and hope he rises to the top.

He took her apart without shouting and without animosity. She was defenseless.

He’s a rising star. Would be a good replacement for Meagain Kelly.

“I can’t stand Hannity for more than a few seconds. I’d much rather listen to someone I disagree with than listen to Hannity harp on the same crap over and over and over and over.”

I know he’s bad when I find myself going over to MSNBC and CNN for comic relief while Hannity pseudo-interviews a guest with his constant interruptions and repetitive captain obvious talking points.

He’s been on fire...when he was announced, I just assumed it was going to be a bland show....wrong. Did you see him take Tariq Nasheed apart? The race baiter was practically pissing all over himself and Tucker just kept hitting him with sledgehammers.

And when the ‘Bill Clinton is a rapist’ set crasher hit last months, Tucker was the only one laughing his ass off.

Carlson is great. I have been wondering for a long time when he would get his own show again. The dude is 47 and looks 37....and what a sharp mind. He surgically demolishes the Liberals dumb enough to show up.

“Just one after another story and banner about “Trump said this” “Trump did that” “so-and-so says Trump...”

And that’s going to be their downfall, because the small viewership they do have will finally say “enough” and change the channel permanently.

“Lou Dobbs EXCELLANT on fox bsns!!!”

And Stuart Varney in the A.M. FBN is far more “watchable” than FNC.
