‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ Gives Fox News Historic Ratings Boost
Daily Caller ^ | 11/30/6 | Christian Datoc

Posted on 01/15/2017 8:30:14 AM PST by Baynative

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.

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!

"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."

I don't know much about them. I rely on the best information on TV from Fox Business Channel - Stuart Varney, Lou Dobbs, Charles Payne and Neil Cavuto are leagues above all the rest. The FBN midday line up is also superior.

But, now I do bounce back to Fox when time permits, just to see Tucker give honest journalistic challenges to guests who never get away without a follow up question.

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.

i would not put Greta in that category... she didn't leave because of hubris...

I know what happens at my house when Juan or Geraldo show up.


Same here. Geraldo is pure scum and Juan has become a real idiot.

Unfortunately the TV dial stays on Fox News Channel now during the 9PM hour, since until Tucker took over show, found there were alternative shows to watch rather than waste time with MK. Tucker is host of the best show on now!

Especially him. Ole Shep “get hysterical, New Orleans is crumbling” Smith. I’ll bet the ratings take a nosedive when his stupid face appears.

so “know, set by set, which TV is on to which program, when they get switched and if there is a human watching”

If the channels don’t get changed, do they know if a human is watching?

Which might mean that cable companies are instantly tracking what I watch.

Next on the chopping block should be Juan Williams.
He's so sickening I almost wish Bob Beckel was back.

He also has a wicked sense of humor. Makes him thoroughly enjoyable to watch.

A 71% jump over Nov. 2015 when Me-Again was running the show?

He didn’t just beat her. He blew her out of the damn water!

My election night choice was Fox Business; Kennedy and the guys. Cream does rise. They also acted like they were aware of things early on

"Just take a gander at Shepard Smith..he has gone nowhere after many years at FNC."

Yep, he's been stuck in that afternoon retirement-home slot a long time. He didn't appear on anyone's short list - or even long list - to take Megyn Kelly's spot. And he wasn't considered for Tucker Carlson's spot, either, when Carlson took over for Kelly.

Looks like Cavuto has purchased new “Geraldo” glasses and he looks just like idiot Geraldo.

... and it seems like 99% of the people doing the weather (I was going to say weathermen, but I guess that’s politically incorrect).

I like to see what happens at Fox when Geraldo or Juan Williams show up.

I know when Whoraldo comes on, I change channels! Can't stand that worthless POS! I at least give Williams 30 seconds before I shut him off. He gets way too smarmy.
