Fox News Takes Ratings Hit After Tucker Carlson’s Exit (Newsmax ratings TRIPLED last night)
Hollywood Reporter ^ | 4/25/2023 | Rick Porter

Posted on 04/25/2023 4:48:24 PM PDT by marcusmaximus

Unsurprisingly, Fox News ratings suffered Monday night without the channel’s most watched host.

After the surprise of Fox News and Tucker Carlson “agree[ing] to part ways” on Monday, the network’s 8 p.m. hour had a significantly smaller audience Monday night. The debut of Fox News Tonight, hosted by Brian Kilmeade (the first in a series of rotating hosts), pulled in just under 2.6 million viewers — about 21 percent below the average for Tucker Carlson Tonight (3.3 million viewers) over the past eight Mondays.

Fox News Tonight also took a hit in the key news demographic of adults 25-54: Its 0.24 rating was 37 percent lower than the 0.38 Carlson averaged over the prior eight Monday shows.

On the other hand, Newsmax — which was openly making a play for Fox News viewers in the wake of Carlson’s exit Monday — saw its audience jump in primetime. Eric Bolling the Balance (531,000 viewers) at 8 p.m. and Greg Kelly Reports (540,000) at 9 p.m. both had more than triple their average audience from the first quarter of the year (145,000 for Bolling and 141,000 for Kelly).

Bed Bath & Beyond is BANKRUPT!

I remember when BB&B dropped MyPillow.

Who's crying now?

Maybe they’re idealists.

So many bad marketing decisions over the past teeny mostly ten years. They have to be operating on a corrupt scale and plan we can’t fathom

Not surprising.

At eight o’clock, I switch to my streaming services.

I am done with FOX news.

I am enjoying a French mystery series called “Candice DuBois” on Acorn.

When you are bipolar, how do you know which one of you is watching what?

If you don’t know how viewership is measured in 2023, that’s on you. They’ve been doing it for 73 years and are quite good at it.

I know about Nielsen ratings. I wondered if they can actually tell in live time what I’m watching.

"The telescreen recieved and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard.
 
There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment.
How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork.
It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to.
 
You had to live - did live, from habit that became instinct - in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.

I knew it. This just confirms my suspicions. I thought it was just the voices in my head. I see a shadow go by just out of my peripheral vision. I first thought it was ghosts but no, it’s them.

“How do they know what channel I’m watching? Are they monitoring my tv?”

definitely ... if you’re using a streaming and/or satellite box, the boxes monitor your recordings and what parts you’re actually watching minute by minute ...

we deleted ALL our FNC recording timers ... we’re now 100% cut off from FNC ... i urge everyone else to do the same ...

Haven't owned an idiot box in decades. Are “they” monitoring what I don't watch?

Yes, they can. I was a Nielsen household for 3 years. They are very sharp and on the ball.

They lasted about 6 months before Newsmax anchors did enough things to show Newsmax is also just controlled opposition at best.

BULLSH#@!

Other than Tucker, we have only watched Newsmax since FOX called Arizona for Biden. And what you claim is a lie!
